First nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate diaphorase (NADPH-d)-positive perikarya in rat prefrontal cortex (PFC) are present at birth. On postnatal day (P) 1, there is an increase of NADPH-d-positive neurons in all developing layers of PFC. From P1 to P7, a further increase in the overall number of positive neurons is observed. First laminar and area shifts are noted on P21, while morphological maturation of NADPH-d-positive neurons is finished around P30. In conclusion, the postnatal development of NADPH-d neurons in PFC is in concordance with other developmental events in rat cerebral cortex.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014018	Tissue Distribution	Accumulation of a drug or chemical substance in various organs (including those not relevant to its pharmacologic or therapeutic action). This distribution depends on the blood flow or perfusion rate of the organ, the ability of the drug to penetrate organ membranes, tissue specificity, protein binding. The distribution is usually expressed as tissue to plasma ratios.	Distribution, Tissue,Distributions, Tissue,Tissue Distributions
D017208	Rats, Wistar	A strain of albino rat developed at the Wistar Institute that has spread widely at other institutions. This has markedly diluted the original strain.	Wistar Rat,Rat, Wistar,Wistar Rats
D017397	Prefrontal Cortex	The rostral part of the frontal lobe, bounded by the inferior precentral fissure in humans, which receives projection fibers from the MEDIODORSAL NUCLEUS OF THE THALAMUS. The prefrontal cortex receives afferent fibers from numerous structures of the DIENCEPHALON; MESENCEPHALON; and LIMBIC SYSTEM as well as cortical afferents of visual, auditory, and somatic origin.
