Nps-Expressing Neurons Receive Extensive Input From Auditory Brainstem Nuclei. [PDF]
J Comp NeurolNps‐expressing neurons receive input from auditory brainstem nuclei, with additional afferents from the reticular formation, midbrain, hypothalamus, and extended amygdala. While rabies retrograde labeling in the cerebral cortex was sparse, cholera toxin beta (CTb) revealed copious input, and anterograde tracing identified many axons and boutons ...

Nature Communications, 2020 Neuroligins are postsynaptic cell adhesion molecules that are involved in synapse function and autism spectrum disorder. The authors show that NLG2-mediated GABAergic transmission at the thalamic reticular nucleus-thalamic circuit is a common mechanism ...

Interhemispheric Interactions of the Human Thalamic Reticular Nucleus [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2015 The thalamic reticular nucleus is an important structure governing the recurrent interactions between the thalamus and cortex that may provide a substrate for unified perception. Despite the importance of the TRN, its activity has been scarcely investigatedin vivoin animal models, and never in humans.

Sleep onset uncovers thalamic abnormalities in patients with idiopathic generalised epilepsy
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2017 The thalamus is crucial for sleep regulation and the pathophysiology of idiopathic generalised epilepsy (IGE), and may serve as the underlying basis for the links between the two.

Effects of methamphetamine on locomotor activity and thalamic gene expression in leptin-deficient obese mice [PDF]
, 2017 Leptin is an adipose-derived hormone that regulates energy balance. Leptin receptors are expressed in extrahypothalamic sites and several reports showed that leptin can influence feeding and locomotor behavior via direct actions on dopaminergic neurons ...

Projection from the Amygdala to the Thalamic Reticular Nucleus Amplifies Cortical Sound Responses
Cell Reports, 2019 Summary: Many forms of behavior require selective amplification of neuronal representations of relevant environmental signals. Emotional learning enhances sensory responses in the sensory cortex, yet the underlying circuits remain poorly understood.

The emotional gatekeeper: a computational model of attentional selection and suppression through the pathway from the amygdala to the inhibitory thalamic reticular nucleus [PDF]
, 2016 In a complex environment that contains both opportunities and threats, it is important for an organism to flexibly direct attention based on current events and prior plans. The amygdala, the hub of the brain's emotional system, is involved in forming and

Spatial scale of receptive fields in the visual sector of the cat thalamic reticular nucleus
Nature Communications, 2017 The searchlight hypothesis proposes that the thalamic reticular nucleus regulates thalamic relay activity through focal attentional modulation. Here the authors show that the receptive field sizes of reticular neurons are small enough to provide ...
