Early-life medial pulvinar disruption drives schizophrenia-relevant prefrontal inhibitory and cognitive deficits in primates

Schizophrenia is thought to arise from disrupted postnatal maturation of prefrontal circuits, but the developmental events linking early vulnerability to adult cortical dysfunction remain unclear.

Schizophrenia is thought to arise from disrupted postnatal maturation of prefrontal circuits, but the developmental events linking early vulnerability to adult cortical dysfunction remain unclear. Here, we tested whether the primate medial pulvinar, a higher-order thalamic…
