Continuous bilateral infusion of GABA in the dorsomedian nucleus of the thalamus elevates the generalized seizure threshold in amygdala-kindled rats.

22 Jun 2009 In order to assess the role of continuous intracerebral infusion of GABA over the propagation of generalized seizures from the amygdala, Wistar rats were subjected to a kindling procedure at the left basolateral amygdala. Subsequently, they were ... Read more...

Paraventricular thalamus mediates context-induced reinstatement (renewal) of extinguished reward seeking.

3 Feb 2009 Paraventricular thalamus (PvTh) is uniquely placed to contribute to reinstatement of drug and reward seeking. It projects extensively to regions implicated in reinstatement including accumbens shell (AcbSh), prefrontal cortex (PFC) and basolateral ... Read more...

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...

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.
