Thalamocortical interactions.
Glutamatergic pathways dominate information processing in the brain, but these are not homogeneous. They include two distinct types: Class 1, which carries the main information for processing, and Class 2, which serves a modulatory role. Identifying the Class 1 inputs in a circuit can lead to a better understanding of its function. Also, identifying Class 1 inputs to a thalamic nucleus tells us...
متن کاملInteractions between membrane conductances underlying thalamocortical slow-wave oscillations.
Neurons of the central nervous system display a broad spectrum of intrinsic electrophysiological properties that are absent in the traditional "integrate-and-fire" model. A network of neurons with these properties interacting through synaptic receptors with many time scales can produce complex patterns of activity that cannot be intuitively predicted. Computational methods, tightly linked to ex...
متن کاملHigh channel count electrode system to investigate thalamocortical interactions
A novel silicon-based microelectrode array with oneand two-dimensional variants was developed in the framework of the EUfunded research project NeuroProbes. The electrode array comprises complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor based integrated circuitry to implement the concept of electronic depth control which is used to select up to 32 recording sites from more than 1000 possible electrode ch...
متن کاملThalamocortical connections of the primary somatosensory cortex
Although each subdivision of primary somatosensory cortex (SI) receives dense input from the thalamus, but the exact location and type of information that the fibers convey have not been identified yet. In the present study, the exact source of thalamocortical fibers to areas 2 and 3b was investigated using tract-tracing techniques. Following injection of tracer into area 3b, labeled neurons ...
متن کاملThalamocortical Relations
The thalamus is a paired structure joined at the midline and located at the center of the brain (Figure 10.1 ). Each half is roughly the size of a walnut. The main part of the thalamus is divided into a number of discrete regions, known as relay nuclei. These contain the relay cells that project to the cerebral cortex. (In this chapter, cortex refers to neocortex, which does not include the hip...
