Rebound bursts in GABAergic neurons of the thalamic reticular nucleus in postnatal mice.
Whole cell patch-clamp recordings from GABAergic cells of thalamic reticular nucleus (RTN) in thalamocortical slices made from postnatal day 6 (P6) to 10 (P10) were used to investigate the pattern of rebound bursts (RBs) triggered by an injection of hyperpolarizing current into RTN cells. The number of RBs in the RTN and the overlying Na(+)/K(+) spikes changed in an age-dependent manner. The ge...
متن کاملMorphology and Synaptic Organization of Non-Dopaminergic Nigral Projections to the Medio Dorsal Thalamic Nucleus of the Rat, a Study by Anterograde Transport of PHA-L
Background: Mediodorsal (MD) thalamic nucleus, which is considered to take place between extra pyramidal and limbic feedback circuit, receives projective fibers from ventrolateral neurons of reticular part of substantia nigra (SNr). In order to better understand the influence and chemical reaction of these fibers upon MD nucleus, the morphology and synaptology of them were examined in the prese...
متن کاملSelectively driving cholinergic fibers optically in the thalamic reticular nucleus promotes sleep
Cholinergic projections from the basal forebrain and brainstem are thought to play important roles in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep and arousal. Using transgenic mice in which channelrhdopsin-2 is selectively expressed in cholinergic neurons, we show that optical stimulation of cholinergic inputs to the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) activates local GABAergic neurons to promote sleep and pro...

متن کاملLack of Intrinsic GABAergic Connections in the Thalamic Reticular Nucleus of the Mouse.
UNLABELLED It is generally thought that neurons in the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) form GABAergic synapses with other TRN neurons and that these interconnections are important for the function of the TRN. However, the existence of such intrinsic connections is controversial. We combine two complementary approaches to examine intrinsic GABAergic connections in the TRN of the mouse. We find ...
