Taurine depletion during fetal and postnatal development blunts firing responses of neocortical layer II/III pyramidal neurons
Fetal and infant brains are rich in maternally derived taurine.We previously demonstrated that taurine action regulates the cation-chloride cotransporter activity and the differentiation and radial migration of pyramidal neuron progenitors in the developing neocortex of rodent fetuses.Here we examined the effects of fetal and infantile taurine depl
