The thalamic reticular nucleus and schizophrenia.

Fabio F Ferrarelli and Giulio G Tononi

Schizophr Bull 37(2):306-15 (2011) PMID 21131368

The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) is a shell-shaped gamma amino butyric acid (GABA)ergic nucleus, which is uniquely placed between the thalamus and the cortex, because it receives excitatory afferents from both cortical and thalamic neurons and sends inhibitory projections to all nuclei of the dorsal thalamus.

    We have analyzed gene expression and histopathology of rat liver treated with a histamine-3 receptor inverse agonist under development for the treatment of obesity 24 h after a single acute administration. While histopathology did not identify a clear liver toxicity, analysis of gene changes strongl...

    We compared single-unit spikes with population activity in the anteroventral nucleus (AV) of freely-moving rats during foraging and during naturally-occurring sleep. We identified AV units that synchronize their bursting activity in the 6-11Hz range. We show for the first time in freely-moving rats...
