Postnatal development of NOS-ir neurons in the rat claustrum
open access
Abstract
The maturation of NOS-ir neurons in the claustrum is a dynamic process which is not stabilised at the moment of birth. It may be assumed that characteristic changes of the NOS-ir population of neurons may be influential on the physiological processes observed in Cl. These may in particular have some importance for the processes of synaptogenesis and establishing as well as refining of numerous claustral connections with the other structures of the central nervous system.
