State-Dependent Architecture of Thalamic Reticular Subnetworks
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 functional architecture of this process and its state dependence are unknown. By combining the first TRN ensemble recording with psychophysics ...
متن کاملFunctional organization of the thalamic input to the thalamic reticular nucleus.
Most axons connecting the thalamus and cortex in both directions pass through the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN), a thin layer of GABAergic cells adjacent to the thalamus, and innervate neurons there. The TRN, therefore, is in a strategic location to regulate thalamocortical communication. We recorded neurons of the somatosensory region of the TRN in a thalamocortical slice preparation and st...
متن کاملGlutamate inhibits thalamic reticular neurons.
Activation of metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) can result in long-lasting modulation of neuronal excitability. Multiple mGluR subtypes are localized within the rat thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN), and we have examined the effects of activating these different receptor subtypes on the excitability of these neurons using an in vitro slice preparation. Typical of most mGluR-sensitive pre...
متن کاملAttentional modulation of thalamic reticular neurons.
The major pathway for visual information reaching cerebral cortex is through the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) of the thalamus. Acting on this vital relay is another thalamic nucleus, the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN). This nucleus receives topographically organized collaterals from both thalamus and cortex and sends similarly organized projections back to thalamus. The inputs to the TRN ...
متن کاملElectrical synapses in the thalamic reticular nucleus.
Neurons of the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) provide inhibitory input to thalamic relay cells and generate synchronized activity during sleep and seizures. It is widely assumed that TRN cells interact only via chemical synaptic connections. However, we show that many neighboring pairs of TRN neurons in rats and mice are electrically coupled. In paired-cell recordings, electrical synapses wer...
