Building circuits, one synapse at a time As the brain develops, neurons build new connections that are refined by pruning. Gouret al. used electron microscopy to build a high-resolution study of mouse postnatal brain development. The survey reveals the details of how circuits are built to incorporate inhibitory neurons in the somatosensory cortex.Science , this issue p.eabb4534
