Selective vulnerability of intracortical projection neurons drives long-term cortical circuit rewiring after perinatal hypoxia

Cortical circuits are built at perinatal times and gradually refined in an activity-dependent manner during a so-called postnatal period of critical plasticity. Although lesions of the central nervous system (CNS) happening during this period typically recover better than those occurring later in life, they are often a...
