Neurotoxic lesions of the thalamic reuniens or mediodorsal nucleus in rats affect non-mnemonic aspects of watermaze learning.

7 Jan 2009 Rats with bilateral neurotoxic reuniens (RE), mediodorsal (MD), hippocampal (HIPP) or sham (SH) lesions were tested in a standard watermaze task, together with unoperated rats. RE-rats and SH-controls readily learned to swim directly to a hidden ... Read more...

Skew deviation as the initial manifestation of left paramedian thalamic infarction.

29 Nov 2008 We describe a 73-year-old man who developed diplopia as the initial manifestation of a left thalamic infarction. By the time he reached the emergency department, clouded consciousness precluded localization of the lesion. Results of brain MRI were ... Read more...

Changes in midline thalamic recruiting responses in the prefrontal cortex of the rat during the development of chronic limbic seizures.

15 Sep 2008 PURPOSE: Mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE) is a common form of epilepsy that affects the limbic system and is associated with decreases in memory and cognitive performance. The medial prefrontal cortex (PC) in rats, which has a role in memory, is ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Midline Thalamic Nuclei'

Definition: Small, nonspecific nerve cells scattered in the periventricular gray matter, separating the medial part of the thalamus from the ependyma of the third ventricle. The group includes the paraventricular nucleus, paratenial nucleus, reuniens nucleus, rhomboidal nucleus, and subfascicular nucleus.
