Activation of the Rostral Intralaminar Thalamus Drives Reinforcement through Striatal Dopamine Release

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Glutamatergic projections of the thalamic rostral intralaminar nuclei of the thalamus (rILN) innervate the dorsal striatum (DS) and are implicated in dopamine (DA)-dependent incubation of drug seeking.

State‐specific Regulation of Electrical Stimulation in the Intralaminar Thalamus of Macaque Monkeys: Network and Transcriptional Insights into Arousal

Advanced Science
Long‐range thalamocortical communication is central to anesthesia‐induced loss of consciousness and its reversal. However, isolating the specific neural networks connecting thalamic nuclei with various cortical regions for state‐specific anesthesia ...

The functional logic of corticostriatal connections [PDF]

, 2016
Unidirectional connections from the cortex to the matrix of the corpus striatum initiate the cortico-basal ganglia (BG)-thalamocortical loop, thought to be important in momentary action selection and in longer-term fine tuning of behavioural repertoire ...

Short-term synaptic plasticity in the nociceptive thalamic-anterior cingulate pathway

Molecular Pain, 2009
Background Although the mechanisms of short- and long-term potentiation of nociceptive-evoked responses are well known in the spinal cord, including central sensitization, there has been a growing body of information on such events in the cerebral cortex.

Role of the thalamic parafascicular nucleus cholinergic system in the modulation of acute corneal nociception in rats [PDF]

, 2011
The present study investigated the effects of microinjections of acetylcholine (a cholinergic agonist), physostigmine (a cholinesterase inhibitor), atropine (an antagonist of muscarinic cholinergic receptors) and hexamethonium (an antagonist of nicotinic

Structural and functional abnormalities of thalamic subregions in minimal hepatic encephalopathy

Brain Research Bulletin
Purpose: The thalamus, which consists of multiple subregions, has been of particular interest in the study of minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE). This study aimed to identify abnormalities of the thalamic subregions in patients with MHE and their ...

Sensory Processing in the Dorsolateral Striatum: The Contribution of Thalamostriatal Pathways

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2017
The dorsal striatum has two functionally-defined subdivisions: a dorsomedial striatum (DMS) region involved in mediating goal-directed behaviors that require conscious effort, and a dorsolateral striatum (DLS) region involved in the execution of habitual

Striatal input from the ventrobasal complex of the rat thalamus [PDF]

, 2001
We have analyzed whether caudal regions of the caudate putamen receive direct projections from thalamic sensory relay nuclei such as the ventrobasal complex.

El neurólogo frente al dolor en la demencia

Neurología, 2015
Resumen: Introducción: El envejecimiento, consustancial con la demencia, se asocia comúnmente a patologías dolorosas. Sin embargo, por las dificultades de comunicación, el uso de analgésicos está reducido.
