Abstract excerpt
Genetic inactivation of monoamine oxidase-A (MAO-A) significantly elevates levels of serotonin (5-HT) during early development and causes a disruption in the compartmented organization of thalamocortical axon terminals in layer 4 of the somatosensory cortex. In order to determine whether corticocortical innervation of the primary somatosensory cortex is also affected by this mutation, we examined the distribution...
