State-Dependent Architecture of Thalamic Reticular Subnetworks [PDF]

, 2014
Behavioral state is known to influence interactions between thalamus and cortex, which are important for sensation, action, and cognition. The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) is hypothesized to regulate thalamo-cortical interactions, but the underlying ...

The thalamic reticular nucleus orchestrates social memory

Neuron
Social memory has been developed in humans and other animals to recognize familiar conspecifics and is essential for their survival and reproduction. Here, we demonstrated that parvalbumin-positive neurons in the sensory thalamic reticular nucleus (sTRNPvalb) are necessary and sufficient for mice to memorize conspecifics.

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 ...

Dynamic Metabolic Changes in the Human Thalamus at the Transition From Waking to Sleep - Insights From Simultaneous Functional MR Spectroscopy and Polysomnography

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.

Convergent direct and indirect cortical streams shape avoidance decisions in mice via the midline thalamus

Nature Communications
Current concepts of corticothalamic organization in the mammalian brain are mainly based on sensory systems, with less focus on circuits for higher-order cognitive functions.

Distinct structural and functional connectivity of genetically segregated thalamoreticular subnetworks

Cell Reports
Summary: The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN), the major inhibitory source of the thalamus, plays essential roles in sensory processing, attention, and cognition.
