Abstract

Neuroimaging studies have established that there are losses in the volume of gray matter in certain cortical regions between adolescence and adulthood, with changes in the prefrontal cortex being particularly dramatic. Previous work from our laboratory has demonstrated that cell death can occur as late as the fourth postnatal week in the rat cerebral cortex. The present study examined the possibility that neuronal loss may occur between adolescence and adulthood in the rat prefrontal cortex. Rats of both sexes were examined during adolescence (at day 35) and young adulthood (at day 90). The volume, neuronal number, and glial number of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) were quantified using unbiased stereological techniques. Neurons were lost from the ventral, but not dorsal, mPFC between adolescence and adulthood, suggesting a late wave of apoptosis that was region-specific. This was accompanied by a decrease in the volume of the female ventral mPFC. In contrast to neuron number, the number of glial cells was stable in the ventral mPFC and increased between adolescence and adulthood in the dorsal mPFC. Sex-specific developmental changes in neuron number, glial number, and volume resulted in sex differences in adults that were not seen during adolescence. The loss of neurons at this time may make the peri-adolescent prefrontal cortex particularly susceptible to the influence of environmental factors.

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.
