Neuron and Glial Cell Numbers in the Mediodorsal Thalamic Nucleus in Brains of Schizophrenic Subjects
Several stereological studies of schizophrenic subjects have shown reduction in both the total number of neurons and in the total volume of the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus (MD). This is in contrast to other studies in that no differences have been found. Using systematic random sampling and an optical fractionator design, the total number of neuron and glial cells in the MD subdivisions: parvo...

The mediodorsal thalamic nucleus and schizophrenia.
The mediodorsal nucleus of the human thalamus is in a crucial position that allows it to establish connections with diverse cerebral structures, particularly the prefrontal cortex. The present review examines existing neurobiologic studies of the brains of people with and without schizophrenia that indicate a possible involvement of the mediodorsal nucleus in this psychiatric disorder. Studies ...
متن کاملVolume and neuron number of the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus in schizophrenia: a replication study.
Previous neuropathological studies on the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus (MD) in schizophrenia have yielded conflicting results. While some studies suggested that patients with schizophrenia have a pronounced reduction of the volume and neuron number in the MD, more recent data have not found anatomical alterations in this thalamic nucleus. However, most studies have considerable methodological s...
متن کاملThalamic mediodorsal nucleus and working memory.
Working memory is a dynamic neural system for temporarily maintaining and processing information. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays an important role in working memory. However, several evidences indicate that the thalamic mediodorsal nucleus (MD) also participates in working memory. Neurophysiological studies revealed that MD neurons exhibit sustained delay activity, which is considered to be ...
