The development of auditory callosal connections in normal and hypothyroid rats

Abstract

Previous studies have shown that hypothyroidism modifies the development of callosal connections. In particular, adult hypothyroid rats have fewer callosally projecting neurons in layers II-III of the auditory cortex and more in layer V. This might be due to disturbance in the stabilization/elimination of juvenile callosal axons, or to abnormal neuronal migration during cortical histogenesis. To distinguish between these possibilities we have studied the distribution of callosally projecting auditory neurons at different postnatal ages using retrogradely transported tracers, and the cortical neurogenetic gradients using DNA labelling with 5-bromo-2'-deoxiuridine. In hypothyroid rats, injected at postnatal day 5 (P5) and killed at P18-20, most of the neurons retrogradely labelled from the contralateral hemisphere are distributed between layers IV and VI, as in older rats. In hypothyroid rats, many neurons are at locations inappropriate for their birthdate, including the subcortical white matter, resulting in more diffuse radial neurogenetic gradients. These results indicate that early induced hypothyroidism alters neuronal migration and prevents the establishment of callosal connections from cortical layers II-III.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.
