Thalamocortical development: how are we going to get there?

Nature Rev. Neurosci. 4, 276–289 (2003)

In page 284 of this article, in the section on “Thalamocortical segregation in the barrel cortex”, it is stated that “In mice with null mutations in either the monoamine oxidase (Maoa) gene or the adenylyl cyclase 1 (Adcy1) gene, ingrowing thalamic axons fail to segregate to form the primordial periphery-related pattern, and cortical cells do not rearrange as cytoarchitectonic entities^120–122.” Two additional references that substantiate this statement were missing from the original:
