Development of reciprocal connections between the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus and the thalamic reticular nucleus
The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) serves as an important node between the thalamus and neocortex, regulating thalamocortical rhythms and sensory...
-
The Dorsal Nucleus of the Lateral Geniculate Body: Anatomy, Histology, Ontogenesis
This review addresses the structure and function of the main visual thalamic nucleus – the dorsal nucleus of the lateral geniculate body – and its...

Region-selective control of the thalamic reticular nucleus via cortical layer 5 pyramidal cells
Corticothalamic pathways, responsible for the top-down control of the thalamus, have a canonical organization such that every cortical region sends...

Lipocalin 2 in the Paraventricular Thalamic Nucleus Contributes to DSS-Induced Depressive-Like Behaviors
The incidence rate of anxiety and depression is significantly higher in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) than in the general...

Tonic serotonergic input increases the burst firing mode and diminishes the firing rate of reticular thalamic nucleus neurons through 5-HT1A receptors activation in anesthetized rats
The reticular thalamic nucleus (RTn) is a thin shell of GABAergic neurons that covers the dorsal thalamus that regulate the global activity of all...

The lateral habenula nucleus regulates pruritic sensation and emotion
Itch is a complex aversive sensory and emotional experience. As a most upsetting symptom in many dermatological and systemic diseases, it lacks...

Role of NMDA receptors blockade in the thalamic paraventricular nucleus in morphine dependent rat model of formalin-induced pain
Evidence shows that the N-methyl- d -aspartate (NMDA) antagonist MK801 reduces the development of morphine (Mor) tolerance. The paraventricular nucleus...

Somatotopic organization of the ventral nuclear group of the dorsal thalamus: deep brain stimulation for neuropathic pain reveals new insights into the facial homunculus
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is an experimental treatment for medication-refractory neuropathic pain. The ventral posteromedial (VPM) and ventral...

Three-Dimensional Heterogeneity of Cerebellar Interposed Nucleus-Recipient Zones in the Thalamic Nuclei
The cerebellum is conceptualized as a processor of complex movements and is also endowed with roles in cognitive and emotional behaviors. Although...

Transient expression of heavy-chain neurofilaments in the perigeniculate nucleus of cats
The perigeniculate nucleus (PGN) is a visual part of the thalamic reticular nucleus modulating the information transfer between the lateral...

Sensory and behavioral modulation of thalamic head-direction cells
Head-direction (HD) neurons are thought to exclusively encode directional heading. In awake mice, we found that sensory stimuli evoked robust...

Thalamic deep brain stimulation in traumatic brain injury: a phase 1, randomized feasibility study
Converging evidence indicates that impairments in executive function and information-processing speed limit quality of life and social reentry after...
-
Thalamic subnetworks as units of function
The thalamus engages in various functions including sensory processing, attention, decision making and memory. Classically, this diversity of...

NODDI Identifies Cognitive Associations with In Vivo Microstructural Changes in Remote Cortical Regions and Thalamocortical Pathways in Thalamic Stroke
The roles of cerebral structures distal to isolated thalamic infarcts in cognitive deficits remain unclear. We aimed to identify the in vivo...

Nucleus reticularis tegmenti pontis: a bridge between the basal ganglia and cerebellum for movement control
Neural processing in the basal ganglia is critical for normal movement. Diseases of the basal ganglia, such as Parkinson’s disease, produce a variety...

Organization of enkephalinergic neuronal system in the central nervous system of the gecko Hemidactylus frenatus
Enkephalins are endogenous opioid pentapeptides that play a role in neurotransmission and pain modulation in vertebrates. However, the distribution...

Widespread corticopetal projections from the oval paracentral nucleus of the intralaminar thalamic nuclei conveying orofacial proprioception in rats
The oval paracentral nucleus (OPC) was initially isolated from the paracentral nucleus (PC) within the intralaminar thalamic nuclei in rats. We have...

Inactivation of the thalamic paraventricular nucleus promotes place preference and sucrose seeking in male rats
RationaleThe experience of reward entails both positive affect and motivation. While the brain regions responsible for these distinct aspects of...

The anterior thalamic nuclei: core components of a tripartite episodic memory system
Standard models of episodic memory focus on hippocampal–parahippocampal interactions, with the neocortex supplying sensory information and providing...

Development of Functional Properties in the Early Visual System: New Appreciations of the Roles of Lateral Geniculate Nucleus
In the years following Hubel and Wiesel’s first reports on ocular dominance plasticity and amblyopia, much attention has been focused on...
