Background

Freezing lesions to the developing cortical plate result in a cascade of local and distal anatomical and physiological changes, including hyperexcitability around the point of disruption, deviation of axonal projections from targets in the hemisphere contralateral to the pathology, and changes in thalamo-cortical connectivity [2, 3, 4]. Freezing lesions induced on postnatal day 1 (P1) and P3 in rats resemble human four-layer microgyria (as seen postmortem in dyslexics; [9, 10]). Moreover, the presence of microgyria has been associated with rapid ...
