title: Postnatal development of the afferent projections from the dorsomedial thalamic nucleus to the frontal cortex in mice.
abstract: The postnatal development of mediodorsal thalamic projections to the dorsomedial frontal cortex of mice was assessed by means of the retrograde peroxidase-colloidal gold complex tract tracing system. The tracer was injected into the dorsomedial frontal cortex from the day of birth (P0) to 60 days of postnatal age (P60). Since birth, a dense retrograde labeling has been found in the mediodorsal nucleus, which increased progressively from P4 to P8 and began to decrease at P10 until P13 (67.37% vs. the maximal average, P4). After P16, the mean average remains stable up to P60.
