Abstract

Synapses between degenerating thalamocortical axon terminals and corticothalamic projection neurons labeled by the retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase have been identified in mouse SmI cortex. This monosynaptic thalamocortical-corticothalamic feedback loop is suggested to be involved in reinforcing differences in the levels of excitation between parallel components of thalamocortical projections.
