Development of thalamocortical connections between the mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus and the prefrontal cortex and its implication in executive and cognitive function
The mediodorsal thalamus (MD) represents a fundamental subcortical relay to the prefrontal cortex (PFC), and is thought to be highly implicated in modulation of cognitive ability. Additionally, it undergoes highly conserved developmental stages, which, when dysregulated, can have detrimental conseq...
