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...

[Effect of electroacupuncture on the expression of corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) and CRHR 1 mRNA in paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus in stress-induced anxiety rats]

29 Nov 2008 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on the expression of corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) and CRHR 1 mRNA in paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of hypothalamus, to explore its mechanism in anti-anxiety. METHODS: ... 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.
