Barrels of the PMBSF [posteromedial barrel subfield] of the mouse somatosensory cortex became apparent in Nissl-stained tangential sections simultaneously, on the 4th postnatal day. At this time they were miniatures of those in the adult and were situated in the deepest sublamina of the trilaminar cortical plate. An early barrel appeared as a patch of decreased cell density: the prospective hollow of the barrel. Septa became noticeable during the 6th postnatal day. From that period of adulthood, the relative contribution of the PMBSF to the total cortical surface area increased, an increase that goes against one''s expectation: the barrel related periphery matured very early and so did the central, lateral region of the cortex. Barrel growth parallel to the pial surface was greater along the major axes than along the minor axes. By using the barrels to identify prospective layer IV in immature cortex, it was determined that layers V and VI attained their adult height during the 6th postnatal day, an age when prospective layers I-IV were only half their adult height. The onset of barrel formation coincided with the moment after which injury to the pertinent somatosensory periphery (the vibrissal papillae) no longer caused profound alterations in barrel morphology.
