TL;DR

Two lateral mouse brain sagittal sections labeled for Lypd1 and Kcnab3, contrarily, labels selectively various layers of the isocortex and the hippocampal allocortex but leaves unlabeled selectively the insula and postrhinal areas of the limbic mesocortical ring.

Abstract

Two lateral mouse brain sagittal sections labeled, respectively, for Lypd1 (A) and Kcnab3 (B). (A) Lypd1 labels positively cortical Layers 2 and 5 (less heavily), but only at limbic mesocortical sites, forming the limbic ring that separates the unlabeled isocortex (IsoCx) from the unlabeled hippocampal and olfactory allocortex (Hi, Sub, ERh; OlfCx). The limbic ring is marked twice as the insula (Ins, MCx) and the postrhinal area (PoRh, MCx). (B) Kcnab3, contrarily, labels selectively various layers of the isocortex (IsoCx) and the hippocampal allocortex (Hi, Sub, ERh) but leaves unlabeled selectively the insula (Ins, MCx) and postrhinal (PoRh, MCx) areas of the limbic mesocortical ring, being thus a negative marker for this sort of cortex.

Exposure to 2 weeks of isolation and social defeat stress failed to alter the numbers of BrdU+, or DCX+ cells in the hippocampus or amygdala when evaluated 2 weeks after psychosocial stress, indicating that the current stress paradigm has no long-term consequences on neurogenesis in this primate.

Paratenial thalamus engages in reciprocal and broadcast circuits with the prefrontal cortex

SUMMARY The dorsal anterior midline thalamus (aMT) consists of two adjacent nuclei important for motivated and emotional behavior. Previous work focused on the paraventricular thalamus (PVT), with little known about the adjacent paratenial thalamus (PT). We examine neural circuits involving the PT using molecular profi...

Diversity of Layer 3 Pyramidal Neuron Properties Across Areas of the Primate Neocortex.

Evidence suggesting that L3PN morphology and physiology differ significantly across PFC, PPC and V1 in primates is reviewed, suggesting a primate-enhanced regional variability that may be the substrate for area-specific L3PN vulnerability in schizophrenia.

Single-neuron connectome of nucleus accumbens.

The organizing principle of input and projection of medium spiny neurons across NAc in adult male mice at single-cell resolution was examined, revealing topographic distribution principles of these neurons and their terminals in the substantia innominata (SI) subdivision.

GABAergic interneurons in local circuits of primate prefrontal cortex.

Cortical GABAergic interneurons exhibit remarkable diversity of morphological, electrophysiological and molecular features, which underlies their specialized roles in circuit functions. Molecular characteristics have proven to be a reasonable starting point in the past for classification, grouping them into parvalbumin...

The proto-cortical amygdala: a perspective on the functional and evolutionary relationship between the basolateral amygdala complex and neocortex in mammals

The basolateral amygdala complex (BNC) plays an important role in learning, memory, motivation, and social behaviour, with its dysfunction implicated in a wide variety of psychiatric disorders. Despite being one of the most intensely researched areas of the brain, much is still unknown about its microanatomical structu...
