A burst-based "Hebbian" learning rule at retinogeniculate synapses links retinal waves to activity-dependent refinement.

Patterned spontaneous activity in the developing retina is necessary to drive synaptic refinement in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN). Using perforated patch recordings from neurons in LGN slices during the period of eye segregation, we examine how such burst-based activity can instruct this ref...
