A new measure for the strength of electrical synapses
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 Electrical synapses, like chemical synapses, mediate intraneuronal communication. Electrical synapses are typically quantified by subthreshold measurements of coupling, which fall short in describing their impact on spiking activity in coupled neighbors.

Variable action potential backpropagation during tonic firing and low-threshold spike bursts in thalamocortical but not thalamic reticular nucleus neurons [PDF]
, 2017 Backpropagating action potentials (bAPs) are indispensable in dendritic signaling. Conflicting Ca2-imaging data and an absence of dendritic recording data means that the extent of backpropagation in thalamocortical (TC) and thalamic reticular nucleus ...

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 An important contribution of the thalamus to the transition from wakefulness to sleep is a consistent finding in animal studies. In humans, only little is currently known about the specific role of the thalamus in regulating wake-sleep transitions ...

Immunohistochemical distribution of Plexin A4 in the adult rat central nervous system
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2010 PlexinA4 is the latest member to be identified of the plexin A subfamily, critical transducers of class 3 semaphorin signaling as co-receptors to neuropilins 1 and 2.

Functional representation of vision within the mind: A visual consciousness model based in 3D default space [PDF]
, 2015 The human eyes and brain, which have finite boundaries, create a ‘‘virtual’’ space within our central nervous system that interprets and perceives a space that appears boundless and infinite.

State-dependent modulation of gap junction signaling by the persistent sodium current
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2012 Thalamic neurons fluctuate between two states: a hyperpolarized state associated with burst firing and sleep spindles, and a depolarized state associated with tonic firing and rapid, reliable information transmission between the sensory periphery and ...

Thalamic interaction between the input and the output systems of the basal ganglia [PDF]
, 1999 The striatal return through the thalamus is largely neglected in current studies dealing with basal ganglia function, and its role within this circuitry remains obscure.
