Sentences with phrase «thalamic neurons»
In these studies, we developed a method to simultaneously record the activity of multiple excitatory thalamic neurons (ETN) together with the axonal activity of inhibitory thalamic neurons (ITN) in the same brain volume.

Recording from downstream neurons in the caudate and from thalamic neurons projecting to the medial frontal cortex indicated that this phenomenon originates within cortical networks.
Seibt J., Schuurmans C., Gradwhol G., Dehay C., Vanderhaeghen P., Guillemot, F. and Polleux F. (2003) Neurogenin2 specifies the connectivity of thalamic neurons by controlling axon responsiveness to intermediate target cues.
Dr. Lee's team flashed laser pulses onto light sensitive central thalamic neurons of sleeping rats, which caused the cells to fire.
Previous studies suggested that stimulation of thalamic neurons may awaken patients who have suffered a traumatic brain injury from minimally conscious states.

These channels enable thalamic reticular nucleus neurons to generate burst firing, leading the neurons to enter a hyper - excited state.
The work of Kremkow and colleagues indicates that the organization of all maps originates from the same principle: an arrangement of thalamic afferents that minimizes differences in spatial position, eye input and light / dark polarity among neighboring cortical neurons.
«Our latest research findings support a newly emerging model of how the brain focuses attention on a particular task, using neurons in the thalamic reticular nucleus as a switchboard to control the amount of information the brain receives, limiting and filtering out sensory information that we don't want to pay attention to,» says senior study investigator and neuroscientist Michael Halassa, MD, PhD.
