  • Title: Direct synaptic connections between thalamocortical axon terminals from the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus (MD) and corticothalamic neurons to MD in the prefrontal cortex.

    Journal: Brain Res; 1993 May 28; 612(1-2):339-44. PubMed ID: 7687193.
    Abstract:
    A combined anterograde axonal degeneration with ibotenic acid and wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase (WGA-HRP) retrograde tracing study revealed that some degenerating thalamocortical axon terminals from the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus (MD) directly formed asymmetrical synaptic contacts predominantly with dendritic spines of apical dendrites of WGA-HRP-labeled corticothalamic projection neurons to MD in the prelimbic cortex of the rat. This result suggests that there is a monosynaptic feedback loop from and to MD via deeper layer neurons in the prelimbic cortex.
