Abstract: | The laminar projections from the cerebral cortex to the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus and adjacent thalamic nuclei were studied by means of the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) retrograde axonal transport method. A possible correlation was found between the connectivity arising from layer V of the cerebral cortex, and the rich-acetylcholinesterase (AChE) regions within the subcortical structures under study. This suggests the possibility that layer V of the cerebral cortex in Alzheimer's disease is initially affected and subsequently those rich-AChE subcortical regions with which it is connected. |
