Electroresponsive properties of rat central medial thalamic neurons.
The central medial thalamic (CMT) nucleus is a poorly known component of the middle thalamic complex that relays nociceptive inputs to the basolateral amygdala and cingulate cortex and plays a critical role in the control of awareness. The present study was undertaken to characterize the electroresponsive properties of CMT neurons. Similar to relay neurons found throughout the dorsal thalamus, ...
متن کاملPhysiological properties of central medial and central lateral amygdala neurons.
Mounting evidence implicates the central (CE) nucleus of the amygdala in the mediation of classically conditioned fear responses. However, little data are available regarding the intrinsic membrane properties of CE amygdala neurons. Here, we characterized the physiological properties of CE medial (CE(M)) and CE lateral (CE(L)) amygdala neurons using whole cell recordings in brain slices maintai...
متن کاملProperties of tactile responses of neurons in rat thalamic ventroposterolateral nucleus
Objective To determine whether the convergences of tactile information also occur at thalamic ventroposterolateral nucleus in rats, we investigated the properties of tactile responses of the thalamic ventroposterolateral nucleus in rats. Methods Unit responses were recorded extracellularly from thalamic ventroposterolateral nucleus in anesthetized rats. Results Among 156 neurons examined, 140 n...
متن کاملEffects of the anticonvulsant retigabine on cultured cortical neurons: changes in electroresponsive properties and synaptic transmission.
The whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to examine the effects of retigabine, a novel anticonvulsant drug, on the electroresponsive properties of individual neurons as well as on neurotransmission between monosynaptically connected pairs of cultured mouse cortical neurons. Consistent with its known action on potassium channels, retigabine significantly hyperpolarized the resting membrane ...
متن کاملDistinct firing properties of higher order thalamic relay neurons.
It has been proposed that the thalamus is composed of at least two types of nuclei. First-order relay nuclei transmit signals from the periphery to the cortex while higher order nuclei may route information from one cortical area to another. Although much is known about the functional properties of relay neurons in first-order nuclei, little is known about relay neurons belonging to higher-orde...
