Dissecting the Dynamics of Corticothalamic Feedback
نویسندگان
چکیده
The thalamus and neocortex are intimately interconnected via a reciprocal arrangement of feedforward and feedback projections. In this issue of Neuron, Crandall et al. (2015) provide key insight into the functional dynamics of feedback projections and reveal the cellular and circuit mechanisms that underlie a rate-dependent switch in the net influence, suppression versus excitation, that cortex can exert on thalamic relay cells.

Thalamocortical synapses with corticothalamic projection neurons in mouse SmI cortex: electron microscopic demonstration of a monosynaptic feedback loop.
Synapses between degenerating thalamocortical axon terminals and corticothalamic projection neurons labeled by the retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase have been identified in mouse Sml cortex. This monosynaptic thalamocortical-corticothalamic feedback loop is suggested to be involved in reinforcing differences in the levels of excitation between parallel components of thalamocortical...
متن کاملDoes Corticothalamic Feedback Control Cortical Velocity Tuning?
The thalamus is the major gate to the cortex, and its contribution to cortical receptive field properties is well established. Cortical feedback to the thalamus is, in turn, the anatomically dominant input to relay cells, yet its influence on thalamic processing has been difficult to interpret. For an understanding of complex sensory processing, detailed concepts of the corticothalamic interpla...
متن کاملNonlinear Guidance Law with Finite Time Convergence Considering Control Loop Dynamics
In this paper a new nonlinear guidance law with finite time convergence is proposed. The second order integrated guidance and control loop is formulated considering a first order control loop dynamics. By transforming the state equations to the normal form, a finite time stabilizer feedback linearization technique is proposed to guarantee the finite time convergence of the system states to zero...
متن کاملCorticothalamic feedback and sensory processing.
Although nearly half of the synaptic input to neurons in the dorsal thalamus comes from the cerebral cortex, the role of corticothalamic projections in sensory processing remains elusive. Although sensory afferents certainly establish the basic receptive field properties of thalamic neurons, increasing evidence indicates that feedback from the cortex plays a crucial role in shaping thalamic res...
متن کاملVPM and PoM nuclei of the rat somatosensory thalamus: intrinsic neuronal properties and corticothalamic feedback.
Sensory information originating in individual whisker follicles ascends through focused projections to the brainstem, then to the ventral posteromedial nucleus (VPM) of the thalamus, and finally into barrels of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1). By contrast, the posteromedial complex (PoM) of the thalamus receives more diffuse sensory projections from the brainstem and projects to the inter...
