A callosal projection of area 17 upon the dorsomedial visual area in the marmoset monkey was demonstrated by means of retrograde transport of neuronal tracers. The projection was restricted to those regions representing the vertical meridian in the two areas. This finding, and the data of other authors, indicate that the monkey area 17 projects transcallosally onto homotopic and several heterotopic targets.

Frontal White Matter Changes and Craving Recovery in Inpatients With Heroin Use Disorder.
JAMA Netw Open
December 2024
Departments of Psychiatry and Neuroscience, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York City, New York.
Importance: Amidst an unprecedented opioid epidemic, identifying neurobiological correlates of change with medication-assisted treatment of heroin use disorder is imperative. White matter impairments in individuals with heroin use disorder (HUD) have been associated with drug craving, a reliable predictor of treatment outcomes; however, little is known about structural connectivity changes with inpatient treatment and abstinence in individuals with HUD.
Objective: To assess white matter microstructure and associations with drug craving changes with inpatient treatment in individuals with HUD (effects of time and rescan compared with controls).
Bi-allelic variants in WDR47 cause a complex neurodevelopmental syndrome.

Article Synopsis
- Brain development involves the coordinated growth of structures necessary for forming neural circuits, with the corpus callosum being a crucial connection between brain hemispheres.
- Defects in the growth process, particularly in the development of callosal projection neurons, can lead to syndromic corpus callosum dysgenesis (CCD) and are associated with other conditions like microcephaly.
- The study identifies WDR47 as a key gene responsible for survival of callosal neurons and highlights its role in mitochondrial and microtubule maintenance, suggesting that mutations in this gene lead to a new neurodevelopmental syndrome involving corpus callosum abnormalities.
A role of Lhx2 in the migration and axonal projection of cortical postmitotic neurons in the cortical upper layer of the mouse neocortex.

Department of Biochemistry, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju, 28644, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:
The transcription factor LHX2 contains a LIM domain and plays an important role in the development of the vertebrate nervous system. Although much research has been conducted on the function of Lhx2 during cerebral development, its role in postmitotic neuron differentiation in the cerebral cortex remains unknown. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the function of Lhx2 in dynamic and elaborate developmental processes, including neurogenesis.

Am J Psychiatry
October 2024
Department of Psychiatry (Arion, Enwright, Gonzalez-Burgos, Lewis) and Department of Neuroscience (Lewis), University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how transcriptomes, or gene expression profiles, of two types of layer 3 pyramidal neurons (CP and IP) in the DLPFC change as macaque monkeys develop from prepuberty to adulthood, especially in relation to working memory and schizophrenia.
- Using techniques like retrograde labeling and RNA sequencing, the researchers discovered that both neuron types exhibited distinct transcriptomes at all ages, with gene expression changes becoming more pronounced as the monkeys matured.
- Findings suggest that IP neurons mature faster than CP neurons, indicating that these subtypes may play different roles in the development of working memory and could have varying vulnerabilities to schizophrenia during late postnatal development.
Early neuronal inhibition sculpts adult cortical interhemispheric connectivity.

The maturation of cerebral cortical networks during early life involves a major reorganization of long-range axonal connections. In a recent study, Bragg-Gonzalo, Aguilera, et al. discovered that in mice, the interhemispheric connections sent by S1L4 callosal projection neurons are pruned via the tight control of their ipsilateral synaptic integration, which relies on the early activity of specific interneurons.
