"what_it_reveals": "The fast-spiking phenotype emerges through coordinated postnatal maturation spanning the first 3-4 weeks: Kv3.1b expression begins in the first postnatal week and reaches adult levels by week 3, basket cell AP properties show 30-60% improvement over P6-P25, and thousands of genes undergo bidirectional transcriptional regulation between P7-P40. This convergent timeline demonstrates that the FS phenotype is not present at birth but is actively constructed through activity-dependent developmental programs.",
