Connections of the corpus cerebelli in the green sunfish and the common goldfish [PDF]
, 1988 Examination of the connections of the corpus cerebelli in one perciform (Lepomis cyanellus) and one cypriniform teleost (Carassius auratus) reveal that ipsilateral afferent connections in both species arise from an anterior group of nuclei in the ...

What is the Thalamus in Zebrafish?
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2012 Current research on the thalamus and related structures in the zebrafish diencephalon identifies an increasing number of both neurological structures and ontogenetic processes as evolutionary conserved between teleosts and mammals.

On the genesis of spike-wave oscillations in a mean-field model of human thalamic and corticothalamic dynamics [PDF]
, 2006 In this Letter, the genesis of spike-wave activity—a hallmark of many generalized epileptic seizures—is investigated in a reduced mean-field model of human neural activity.

The role of T-type calcium channel genes in absence seizures
Frontiers in Neurology, 2014 The thalamic relay neurons, reticular thalamic nucleus, and neocortical pyramidal cells form a circuit that sustains oscillatory burst firing, and is regarded as the underlying mechanism of absence seizures.

Anatomy and computational modeling of networks underlying cognitive-emotional interaction [PDF]
, 2013 The classical dichotomy between cognition and emotion equated the first with rationality or logic and the second with irrational behaviors. The idea that cognition and emotion are separable, antagonistic forces competing for dominance of mind has been ...

Compensating for Thalamocortical Synaptic Loss in Alzheimer’s Disease
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2014 The study presents a thalamocortical network model which oscillates within the alpha frequency band (8-13 Hz) as recorded in the wakeful relaxed state with closed eyes to study the neural causes of abnormal oscillatory activity in Alzheimer’s disease (AD)

Processing of analogy in the thalamocortical circuit [PDF]
, 2003 The corticothalamic feedback and the thalamic reticular nucleus have gained much attention lately because of their integrative and modulatory functions. A previous study by the author suggested that this circuitry can process analogies (i.e., the {\

Etiology of phantom limb syndrome: Insights from a 3D default space consciousness model [PDF]
, 2015 In this article, we examine phantom limb syndrome to gain insights into how the brain functions as the mind and how consciousness arises. We further explore our previously proposed consciousness model in which consciousness and body schema arise when ...

Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...
