Abstract
Sensory experience drives the maturation of neural circuits during postnatal brain development through molecular mechanisms that remain to be fully elucidated. One likely mechanism involves the sensory-dependent expression of genes that encode direct mediators of circuit remodeling within developing cells. To identify potential drivers of sensory-dependent synaptic development, we generated a single-nucleus RNA sequencing dataset describing the transcriptional responses of cells in mouse visual cortex to sensory deprivation or stimulation during a developmental window when visual input is necessary for circuit refinement. We sequenced 118,529 nuclei across sixteen neuronal and non-neuronal cell types isolated from control, sensory deprived, and sensory stimulated mice, identifying 1,268 sensory-induced genes within the developing brain. While experience elicited transcriptomic changes in all cell types, excitatory neurons in layer 2/3 exhibited the most robust changes, and the sensory-induced genes in these cells are poised to strengthen synapse-to-nucleus crosstalk and to promote cell-type-specific axon guidance pathways. Altogether, we expect this dataset to significantly broaden our understanding of the molecular mechanisms through which sensory experience shapes neural circuit wiring in the developing brain.
