Transnasal Ventral Brainstem Epidural Electrical Stimulation Enhances Consciousness in Anesthetized Sheep: A Feasibility Study

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study provides the first experimental evidence of a novel transnasal ventral brainstem epidural electrical stimulation approach in anesthetized sheep and demonstrates that this procedure can induce behavioral arousal and cortical electrophysiological changes toward a wake‐like state, holding promise for the treatment of chronic disorders of ...

Development of the corticothalamic projections

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2012
In this review we discuss recent advances in the understanding of corticothalamic axon guidance; patterning of the early telencephalon, the sequence and choreography of the development of projections from subplate, layers 5 and 6.

The Dynamic Role of Breathing and Cellular Membrane Potentials in the Experience of Consciousness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Understanding the mechanics of consciousness remains one of the most important challenges in modern cognitive science. One key step toward understanding consciousness is to associate unconscious physiological processes with subjective experiences of ...

Whole‐Brain Neural Connectivity to Cholinergic Neurons in the Lower Thoracic Intermediolateral Column

open access: yesCNS Neuroscience &Therapeutics, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study establishes a whole‐brain monosynaptic input map to cholinergic neurons in the lower thoracic intermediolateral column (IML) using a cell‐type‐specific retrograde rabies tracing system in ChAT‐Cre mice. Our results reveal a widespread supraspinal network originating from five major brain divisions, including the telencephalon, diencephalon ...

Research on the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease based on thalamocortical computational model

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology
Alpha rhythm slowing is an important electroencephalogram(EEG) feature associated with (AD). This study aims to understand the correlation between alpha band deceleration and molecular changes from the perspective of neural computing.

Does layer 5 of the cortex project to the thalamic reticular nucleus? Implications for core and matrix thalamocortical circuits and sleep spindles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Two distinct thalamocortical (TC) circuits with reciprocal components can be identified in mammals: The core TC circuit, prevalent in sensory thalamus, drives activity focally in the middle cortical layers.

Possible multiple evolution of indirect telencephalo-cerebellar pathways in teleosts: studies in Carassius auratus and Pantodon buchholzi [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Among vertebrates, telencephalo-pontine systems exist only in birds and mammals. However, three nuclei in the diencephalon and mesencephalon of teleost fishes have been indicated — analogous to the pons — to represent relay stations between telencephalon

A Review of Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Disease: Comprehensive Theory and Evidence for Mechanisms of Action

open access: yesComprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 2, April 2026.
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) effects span central and peripheral organ systems through diverse mechanistic pathways. This comprehensive review provides a unified synthesis of these mechanisms across neurological, cardiovascular, immunological, metabolic, and gastrointestinal domains, filling a critical gap and serving as a foundational resource for ...

Relating Alpha Power and Phase to Population Firing and Hemodynamic Activity Using a Thalamo-cortical Neural Mass Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Oscillations are ubiquitous phenomena in the animal and human brain. Among them, the alpha rhythm in human EEG is one of the most prominent examples. However, its precise mechanisms of generation are still poorly understood.

Removal of GABAA receptor γ2 subunits from parvalbumin neurons causes wide-ranging behavioral alterations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
We investigated the behavioral significance of fast synaptic inhibition by αβγ2-type GABA(A) receptors on parvalbumin (Pv) cells. The GABA(A) receptor γ2 subunit gene was selectively inactivated in Pv-positive neurons by Cre/loxP recombination.
