TL;DR: The cellular and synaptic organization of the TRN in adult albino rats on the basis of LM and EM studies of normal animals and experimental animals with injections of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and/or lesions in various parts of the brain is described.

TL;DR: The finding that there are high levels of glutamic acid decarboxylase in the cell bodies, dendritic shafts anddendritic appendages of intrinsic interneurons in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the rat, and in the axon terminals of fibres projecting to this site from the thalamic reticular nucleus, allows us to conclude that the inhibitory inputs to the geniculo-cortical projection cells from both of these sources are probably

TL;DR: The terminals of axons projecting to the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus from the thalamic reticular nucleus were identified by electron microscopy 8-24 h after placing small lesions in the ipsilateralreticular nucleus and made Gray type II axo-dendritic synaptic contacts with geniculates neurons.

TL;DR: A general account is given of synaptic organization in the rat LGd, with special emphasis on the intrinsic neurons, and the vesicle-containing P-boutons to which they give rise, based on ultrastructural studies of normal adult rats and of experimental animals surviving from less than one day to more than four weeks following unilateral eye removal or ablation of the visual and peri-visual cortex.

TL;DR: The complex interneuronal relationships within synaptic glomeruli are difficult, if not impossible, to analyse fully from non-serial sections, and the need for threedimensional studies has often been stressed.
