Different patterns of changes between actin dynamics and synaptic density in the rat's primary visual cortex during a special period of visual development.

This study suggests actin cytoskeleton not only provides the structural basis but also regulates a various array of cellular activities underlying synaptic function. Besides, it highlights a further research of synaptic pruning.
