Several investigations have described the emergent and/or convergent projections of the mPFC, mainly taking rodents as a study model; using the technique of neuronal marker as the main technique of inquiry to reveal such projections, followed by works that propose electrophysiography to reveal the cerebral connectivity. Thus, the interaction of the mPFC with other brain structures has been described, among which the hippocampus, the periaqueductal gray matter, the hypothalamus, the nucleus accumbens, the cerebral amygdala, the ventral tegmental area, the dorsal nucleus of Rafe and the lateral habenula of the epithalamus, among others. These investigations have gone beyond the physical component of brain connectivity, extrapolating and enabling the functional understanding of the anatomical pathways established between the different regions interrelated with the mPFC, revealing the cognitive-behavioral activity of the study subjects. Este artículo se presenta como una revisión que buscó integrar el conocimiento actualizado que se tiene sobre los sustratos neuroanatómicos y morfológicos de los circuitos funcionales que el córtex prefrontal medial (mPFC) establece con otras estructuras cerebrales. Diversas investigaciones han descrito las proyecciones emergentes y/o convergentes del mPFC, principalmente tomando como modelo de estudio a los roedores; empleándose la técnica de marcador neuronal como principal técnica de indagación de tales proyecciones, seguido de trabajos que proponen electrofisiografía para develar la conectividad cerebral. Así, se ha descrito la interacción del mPFC con otras estructuras encefálicas, entre las que se destacan principalmente el hipocampo, la sustancia gris periacueductal, el hipotálamo, el núcleo accumbens, la amígdala cerebral, el área tegmental ventral, el núcleo dorsal de Rafe y la habénula lateral del epitálamo, entre otras. Estas investigaciones han ido más allá del componente físico de la conectividad encefálica, extrapolando y posibilitando la comprensión funcional de las vías anatómicas establecidas entre las diferentes regiones interrelacionadas con el mPFC, develando la actividad cognitivo-comportamental de los sujetos de estudio.
