Abstract

In order to analyze the role of lamination in establishing the precisely ordered connectional pattern of the neocortex, we compared the afferent and efferent connections of the visual cortical areas in normal mice with those of the mutant mouse reeler (rl). The reeler mutation causes disruption of the laminar organization of the neocortex; all classes of neurons are present but are abnormally located. The corticocortical and thalamocortical connections of visual cortical areas 17, 18a, and 18b were determined in normal and reeler mice with injections of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) or HRP conjugated with wheat germ agglutinin (HRP‐WGA). The diffusion of HRP‐WGA is highly restricted due to the surface binding properties of the lectin; it was particularly effective in demonstrating retinotopically ordered connections. We found that the patterns of connections made by the reeler mutant are indistinguishable from normal. Cortical loci in area 17 are reciprocally connected to homotopic locations in areas 18a and 18b. Area 17 is also reciprocally connected with the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the thalamus and projects to the superior colliculus. Areas 18a and 18b are reciprocally connected with each other and with the lateral posterior and lateral nuclei of the thalamus, respectively. In addition, we found evidence of reciprocal connections between the lateral posterior nucleus and area 17, and between the lateral nucleus and areas 17 and 18a. The results indicate that neurons in visual cortical areas of the reeler mutant mouse are capable of forming retinotopically organized corticocortical and thalamocortical connections in a pattern similar to that found in normal animals. Thus the genetic anomaly producing incorrect neuronal positioning during development of the reeler cortex does not seriously impede the pathway and target recognition mechanisms responsible for formation of functionally appropriate cortical connections.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
