Significance of the Thalamic Reticular Nucleus GABAergic Neurons in Normal and Pathological Activity of the Brain

YanGang Sun, Juan Pita - Almenar, Chia - Shan Wu, John J Renger, Victor N. Uebele, Hui - Chen Lu, Michael Beierlein (2013) «Biphasic cholinergic synaptic transmission controls action potential activity in thalamic reticular nucleus neurons», Journal of Neuroscience 33: 2048 - 59.

Housed in a brain region called the thalamus, a group of brain cells called the thalamic reticular nucleus, or TRN, had been suspected to control the brain's ability to pay selective attention to cues from the outside world.

Scientists used mice to study how nerve cells in thalamic reticular nucleus work during sleep and how they help the brain concentrate.

Spindles come from a structure of the brain called thalamic reticular nucleus and spike around 7 - 15 per second.

Researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center say they have added to evidence that a shell - shaped region in the center of the mammalian brain, known as the thalamic reticular nucleus or TRN, is likely responsible for the ability to routinely and seamlessly multitask.

«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.

Absence seizures are believed to be elicited by T - type calcium channels in the thalamic reticular nucleus of the brain that regulate influxes of calcium.

These channels enable thalamic reticular nucleus neurons to generate burst firing, leading the neurons to enter a hyper - excited state.
