Show abstract
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 nucleus interconnected with prefrontal cortex, contributes to prefrontal maturation. Bilateral medial pulvinar lesions in neonatal marmosets altered adolescent prefrontal diffusion trajectories and produced adult working memory deficits, the latter of which did not follow comparable lesions in adulthood. Early-life lesioned animals showed reduced thalamocortical input to layer 3 parvalbumin interneurons, diminished prefrontal gamma power, reduced parvalbumin expression, and immature-like physiology in fast-spiking interneurons. These findings reveal a developmental window in which thalamic input shapes prefrontal inhibitory maturation, suggesting that some forms of cortical dysfunction in psychiatric disease originate not in the cortex itself, but in its thalamic inputs.
