Next question. Does brain somatic mosaicism contribute to stochastic wiring? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
Stochastic Wiring of Cell Types Enhances Fitness by Generating Phenotypic Variability
The development of neural connectivity is a crucial biological process that gives rise to diverse brain circuits and behaviors. Neural development is a stochastic process, but this stochasticity is of...
