Opposing Cholinergic and Serotonergic Modulation of Layer 6 in Prefrontal Cortex
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2018 Prefrontal cortex is a hub for attention processing and receives abundant innervation from cholinergic and serotonergic afferents. A growing body of evidence suggests that acetylcholine (ACh) and serotonin (5-HT) have opposing influences on tasks ...

Corticothalamic Inhibition in the Thalamic Reticular Nucleus [PDF]
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2004 Mutual inhibition between the GABAergic cells of the thalamic reticular nucleus (RTN) is important in regulating oscillations in the thalamocortical network, promoting those in the spindle range of frequencies over those at lower frequencies. Excitatory inputs to the RTN from the cerebral cortex are numerically large and particularly powerful in ...

The Contribution of Thalamocortical Core and Matrix Pathways to Sleep Spindles. [PDF]
, 2016 Sleep spindles arise from the interaction of thalamic and cortical neurons. Neurons in the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) inhibit thalamocortical neurons, which in turn excite the TRN and cortical neurons.

Circuit-Selective FAAH Inhibition Suppresses Experimental Absence Seizures. [PDF]
CNS Neurosci TherSelective inhibition of FAAH with PF‐04457845 enhances endogenous AEA signaling and suppresses absence seizures in Genetic Absence Epilepsy Rats from Strasbourg (GAERS). Video‐EEG recordings demonstrate a marked reduction in SWDs following both acute and subchronic FAAH inhibitions.

Etiology of phantom limb syndrome: Insights from a 3D default space consciousness model [PDF]
, 2015 In this article, we examine phantom limb syndrome to gain insights into how the brain functions as the mind and how consciousness arises. We further explore our previously proposed consciousness model in which consciousness and body schema arise when ...

Hierarchical Organization of Corticothalamic Projections to the Pulvinar [PDF]
Cerebral Cortex Communications, 2020 Abstract Signals from lower cortical visual areas travel to higher-order areas for further processing through cortico-cortical projections, organized in a hierarchical manner. These signals can also be transferred between cortical areas via alternative cortical transthalamic routes involving higher-order thalamic nuclei like the pulvinar.

On the genesis of spike-wave oscillations in a mean-field model of human thalamic and corticothalamic dynamics [PDF]
, 2006 In this Letter, the genesis of spike-wave activity—a hallmark of many generalized epileptic seizures—is investigated in a reduced mean-field model of human neural activity.

Corticothalamic network dysfunction and Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
Brain Research, 2019 Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by progressive cognitive decline and a prominent loss of hippocampal-dependent memory. Therefore, much focus has been placed on understanding the function and dysfunction of the hippocampus in AD.
