“…Clemence and Mitrofanis (1992) suggest that these neurons may provide a novel source of direct inhibitory input to the main body of the thalamic reticular nucleus, although the function of these neurons is not yet known. To date the perireticular nucleus has been reported and studied in the domestic ferret (Clemence & Mitrofanis, 1992;Mitrofanis, 1994aMitrofanis, , 1994bMitrofanis, Lozsadi, & Coleman, 1995; current study), domestic cat (Clemence & Mitrofanis, 1992), the tree pangolin (Imam et al, 2018), the laboratory rat (Amadeo, de Biasi, Frassoni, Ortino, & Spreafico, 1998;Mitrofanis et al, 1995), the domestic rabbit (Contreras-Rodriguez, Gonzalez-Soriano, Martinez-Sainz, & Rodriguez-Veiga, 2002), and fetal human brains (Tulay, Elevli, Duman, Sarimehmetoglu, & Çavdar, 2004). It appears that during development large numbers of GABAergic neurons arise from the ganglionic eminence, and while many of these are lost, the remainder of these intracapsular GABAergic neurons form the perireticular nucleus.…”

This study provides an analysis of the cytoarchitecture, myeloarchitecture, and chemoarchitecture of the diencephalon (dorsal thalamus, ventral thalamus, and epithalamus) of the banded mongoose (Mungos mungo) and domestic ferret (Mustela putorius furo). Using architectural and immunohistochemical stains, we observe that the nuclear organization of the diencephalon is very similar in the two species, and similar to that reported in other carnivores, such as the domestic cat and dog. The same complement of putatively homologous nuclei were identified in both species, with only one variance, that being the presence of the perireticular nucleus in the domestic ferret, that was not observed in the banded mongoose. The chemoarchitecture was also mostly consistent between species, although there were a number of minor variations across a range of nuclei in the density of structures expressing the calcium-binding proteins parvalbumin, calbindin, and calretinin. Thus, despite almost 53 million years since these two species of carnivores shared a common ancestor, strong phylogenetic constraints appear to limit the potential for adaptive evolutionary plasticity within the carnivore order. Apart from the presence of the perireticular nucleus, the most notable difference between the species studied was the physical inversion of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus, as well as the lateral posterior and pulvinar nuclei in the domestic ferret compared to the banded mongoose and other carnivores, although this inversion appears to be a feature of Abbreviations: 3V, third ventricle; 3n, rootlets of oculomotor nerve; A, lamina A of dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus; A1, lamina A1 of dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus; AD, anterodorsal nucleus of the thalamus; AM, anteromedial nucleus of the thalamus; Amyg, amygdaloid complex; AOL, lateral accessory optic terminal nucleus; AV, anteroventral nucleus of the thalamus; bic, brachium of the inferior colliculus; BIN, nucleus of the brachium of the inferior colliculus; C, lamina C of dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus; Ca, caudate nucleus; ca, cerebral aqueduct; cc, corpus callosum; CeM, central medial nucleus of the thalamus; CL, central lateral nucleus of the thalamus; CM, center médian nucleus; csc, commissure of the superior colliculus;

“…Additionally, the axis of the perireticular neurons showed considerable across‐species differences. The perireticular neurons were described as perpendicular to the regional fibres of the internal capsule in the rat (Ramcharan & Guillery, 1997), and orientated in all directions in the rabbit (Contreras‐Rodriguez et al. 2002); in the present study on human fetal brain they were mainly parallel to the fibres of the internal capsule.…”

“…Mitrofanis (1994a,b) also reported two types of neurons in the perireticular nucleus of ferret: small perireticular neurons were located near the reticular nucleus of the thalamus, whereas large perireticular neurons were scarce over the entire internal capsule. Contreras‐Rodriguez et al. (2002) reported two types of neurons in the rabbit: the cell population close to the reticular nucleus consisted of large neurons, whereas those scattered in the internal capsule were small.…”

The perireticular nucleus consists of scattered neurons that are located in the internal capsule. The presence of perireticular neurons in the rat, ferret, cat and human has been described previously. Evidence suggests that the perireticular neurons in various species decrease in number with increasing gestation, but in humans this finding has not been supported by quantitative data. This study aimed to investigate (1) The average number of perireticular and the microglia cells per unit area, located within the posterior crus, was more than in the anterior crus of the internal capsule. In the adult, no perireticular neurons were detected within the internal capsule. The results show that perireticular neurons are not restricted to the region lateral to the thalamus and medial to the globus pallidus (posterior crus) but are also present at the region lateral to the caudate nucleus and medial to the globus pallidus (anterior crus).

“…Neuropil immunoreactivity was quite widespread in distribution, with higher densities in LGb, VPM and VPL, and lower neuropil immunoreactivity in the midline thalamic nuclei (presumptive IMD and CM). In rodent thalamus, neuropil immunoreactivity for Parv is also quite widespread, with strong immunoreactivity in VPM, VPL, LD and Rt (Celio, 1990;Covenas et al, 1991;Frassoni et al, 1991;Arai et al, 1994;Amadeo et al, 2001;Contreras-Rodriguez et al, 2002). Neuropil immunoreactivity in rodent thalamus is also relatively low in the midline region (IMD, CM, Rh and PV) (Frassoni et al, 1991;Arai et al, 1994).…”
