Thalamic control of sensory processing and spindles in a biophysical somatosensory thalamoreticular circuit model of wakefulness and sleep

open access: yesCell Reports, 2023
Summary: Thalamoreticular circuitry plays a key role in arousal, attention, cognition, and sleep spindles, and is linked to several brain disorders. A detailed computational model of mouse somatosensory thalamus and thalamic reticular nucleus has been ...

Sleep onset uncovers thalamic abnormalities in patients with idiopathic generalised epilepsy

open access: yesNeuroImage: 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.

Interhemispheric interactions of the human thalamic reticular nucleus. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Neurosci, 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.

Effects of methamphetamine on locomotor activity and thalamic gene expression in leptin-deficient obese mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

The emotional gatekeeper: a computational model of attentional selection and suppression through the pathway from the amygdala to the inhibitory thalamic reticular nucleus [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Visual and Electrosensory Circuits of the Diencephalon in Mormyrids [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Mormyrids are one of two groups of teleost fishes known to have evolved electroreception, and the concomitant neuroanatomical changes have confounded the interpretation of many of their brain areas in a comparative context, e.g., the diencephalon, where ...

Distribution and characterisation of Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor expressing cells in the mouse brain. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
© 2015 The Authors.Objective: Although Glucagon-like peptide 1 is a key regulator of energy metabolism and food intake, the precise location of GLP-1 receptors and the physiological relevance of certain populations is debatable.

The Contribution of Thalamocortical Core and Matrix Pathways to Sleep Spindles. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Sleep spindles arise from the interaction of thalamic and cortical neurons. Neurons in the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) inhibit thalamocortical neurons, which in turn excite the TRN and cortical neurons.

Presence of a Chaotic Region at the Sleep-Wake Transition in a Simplified Thalamocortical Circuit Model

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2016
Sleep and wakefulness are characterized by distinct states of thalamocortical network oscillations. The complex interplay of ionic conductances within the thalamo-reticular-cortical network give rise to these multiple modes of activity and a rapid ...
