Dissociable performance on scene learning and strategy implementation after lesions to magnocellular mediodorsal thalamic nucleus.
Monkeys with aspiration lesions of the magnocellular division of the mediodorsal thalamus (MDmc) are impaired in object-in-place scene learning, object recognition, and stimulus-reward association. These data have been interpreted to mean that projections from MDmc to prefrontal cortex are required to sustain normal prefrontal function in a variety of task settings. In the present study, we inv...
متن کاملThalamic mediodorsal nucleus and working memory.
Working memory is a dynamic neural system for temporarily maintaining and processing information. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays an important role in working memory. However, several evidences indicate that the thalamic mediodorsal nucleus (MD) also participates in working memory. Neurophysiological studies revealed that MD neurons exhibit sustained delay activity, which is considered to be ...
متن کاملThe mediodorsal thalamic nucleus and schizophrenia.
The mediodorsal nucleus of the human thalamus is in a crucial position that allows it to establish connections with diverse cerebral structures, particularly the prefrontal cortex. The present review examines existing neurobiologic studies of the brains of people with and without schizophrenia that indicate a possible involvement of the mediodorsal nucleus in this psychiatric disorder. Studies ...
متن کاملSubcortical afferents to the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus of the dog.
The subcortical afferents of the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus (MD) were studied using the method of retrograde horseradish peroxidase transport. Analysis of the distribution of labeled cells following injections into particular MD segments established specific and unspecific projections originating in various subcortical structures. The medial MD segment is related to such structures of the lim...
متن کاملMediodorsal thalamic function in scene memory in rhesus monkeys.
Three monkeys were trained preoperatively in a scene memory task which is analogous, in some ways, to human episodic memory. The same animals were also trained in object-reward association memory. Following bilateral ablations of almost the entire magnocellular division of the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus, the animals were impaired both in scene memory and in object-reward association memory. T...
