A novel role for phospholamban in the thalamic reticular nucleus [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) is a brain region that influences vital neurobehavioral processes, including executive functioning and the generation of sleep rhythms.

Regulation of Local Sleep by the Thalamic Reticular Nucleus [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 In spite of the uniform appearance of sleep as a behavior, the sleeping brain does not produce electrical activities in unison. Different types of brain rhythms arise during sleep and vary between layers, areas, or from one functional system to another ...

Postnatal development of thalamic reticular nucleus projections to the anterior thalamic nuclei in rats [PDF]
European Journal of Histochemistry, 2022 The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) projects inhibitory signals to the thalamus, thereby controlling thalamocortical connections. Few studies have examined the development of TRN projections to the anterior thalamic nuclei with regard to axon course ...

Microglia modulate stable wakefulness via the thalamic reticular nucleus in mice [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Here, the authors show that microglia depletion results in unstable wakefulness and altered levels of ceramide, influencing microglia in the mouse thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN). Stable wakefulness can be restored by activation of the TRN or inhibition

Projection from the Amygdala to the Thalamic Reticular Nucleus Amplifies Cortical Sound Responses [PDF]
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 rostroventral part of the thalamic reticular nucleus modulates fear extinction [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 The precise role of the thalamic reticular nucleus in fear is not understood. Here, the authors report that the rostroventral part of the reticular nucleus is involved in the extinction of tone conditioned fear memory through its inhibitory projections ...

Development of reciprocal connections between the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus and the thalamic reticular nucleus [PDF]
Neural DevelopmentThe thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) serves as an important node between the thalamus and neocortex, regulating thalamocortical rhythms and sensory processing in a state dependent manner.

Spatial scale of receptive fields in the visual sector of the cat thalamic reticular nucleus [PDF]
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 ...

Analysis of the Neuron Dynamics in Thalamic Reticular Nucleus by a Reduced Model [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2021 Strategically located between the thalamus and the cortex, the inhibitory thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) is a hub to regulate selective attention during wakefulness and control the thalamic and cortical oscillations during sleep.

Corticotropin-releasing hormone modulates NREM sleep consolidation through the thalamic reticular nucleus [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsCorticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) is a peptide associated with stress and anxiety that acts as a potent modulator throughout the nervous system. The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) displays high expression of the CRH receptor 1 (CRHR1), but whether ...
