Here we report on the expression of trkA in the cerebral cortex and diencephalon of mongolian gerbils during postnatal development. The expression of trkA was identified by immunohistochemical method. In parietal cortex and piriform cortex higher levels of trkA-IR immunoreactivity were detected at 3 days postnatal P3 and at P9. Although trkA was not expressed till P3 in the parietal cortex it was detectable at birth in the piriform cortex. Several regions such as Layers I IV VI did not show much expression. Layer I showed especially weak labeling. In the hippocampus thalamus and hypothalamus higher levels of trkA-IR were detected at P6 and P12 than earlier days. But trkA was not expressed at birth in the hippocampus at P3 in the reticular thalamic nucleus or neonatally in the dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus. This data shows that expression of trkA is developmentally regulated and suggests that high affinity neurotrophin-receptors mediate a transient response to neurotrophines in the cerebral cortex and diencephalon during mongolian gerbil brain ontogeny.
