Dendritic morphology changes in neurons from the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and nucleus accumbens in rats after lesion of the thalamic reticular nucleus

Highlights ► We examine the effect of the thalamic reticular nucleus lesion in rats. ► Thalamic reticular nucleus damage induced a reduction in the exploratory behavior. ► Neuronal hypotrophy in PFC and NAcc neurons is observed in these rats. ► Reduced spinogenesis in the CA1 ventral hippocampus als...

Description
Summary:Highlights ► We examine the effect of the thalamic reticular nucleus lesion in rats. ► Thalamic reticular nucleus damage induced a reduction in the exploratory behavior. ► Neuronal hypotrophy in PFC and NAcc neurons is observed in these rats. ► Reduced spinogenesis in the CA1 ventral hippocampus also was observed in these rats.
