Phase advancement and nucleus-specific timing of thalamocortical activity during slow cortical oscillation.
The exact timing of cortical afferent activity is instrumental for the correct coding and retrieval of internal and external stimuli. Thalamocortical inputs represent the most significant subcortical pathway to the cortex, but the precise timing and temporal variability of thalamocortical activity is not known. To examine this question, we studied the phase of thalamic action potentials relativ...
متن کاملSpecific and Non-Specific Thalamocortical Afferents to the Whisker–Related Sensory Cortical Region in Rats with Congenital Hypothyroidism
Background & Aims: Thyroid hormones are of great importance in the development of the central nervous system. Congenital hypothyroidism may affect the reorganization of specific and non-specific thalamocortical afferents to whisker–related sensory (wS1) corticol region in rats. Methods: Congenital hypothyroidism was induced by adding propylthiouracil (PTU) (25 ppm) to the rats...
متن کاملThe impact of cortical deafferentation on the neocortical slow oscillation.
Slow oscillation is the main brain rhythm observed during deep sleep in mammals. Although several studies have demonstrated its neocortical origin, the extent of the thalamic contribution is still a matter of discussion. Using electrophysiological recordings in vivo on cats and computational modeling, we found that the local thalamic inactivation or the complete isolation of the neocortical sla...
متن کاملCholinergic brainstem neurons modulate cortical gamma activity during slow oscillations.
Cholinergic neurons in the rostral brainstem, including the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN), are critical for switching behavioural state from sleep to wakefulness, and their presumed inactivity during sleep is thought to promote slow cortical rhythms that are characteristic of this state. However, it is possible that the diminished activity of cholinergic brainstem neurons during slow-wave slee...
متن کاملInfluence of Thalamocortical Activity on Sensory Cortical Development and Plasticity
The cerebral cortical hemispheres are organized into multiple structurally and functionally distinct areas. The positioning of these areas is nearly invariant across individuals within a species and even between closely related species. We are interested in determining how these cortical areas are specified during development. Another main area of interest is how one cortical area might be indu...
