Journal ArticleDOI
Abolition of spindle oscillations in thalamic neurons disconnected from nucleus reticularis thalami
TL;DR: The possibility that RE nucleus is a pacemaker for spindling rhythms, imposing them through inhibitory projections to target thalamic areas, is supported by concurrent experiments that indicate RE neurons preserve their rhythmicity after disconnection from their major input sources.
Journal ArticleDOI
The deafferented reticular thalamic nucleus generates spindle rhythmicity
TL;DR: The preservation of both spindle-related rhythms in the disconnected RE nucleus, together with the recent experiments showing abolition of spindle oscillations in thalamic nuclei after lesions of RE nucleus demonstrate that RE nucleus is the generator of spindling rhythms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchy of orofacial rhythms revealed through whisking and breathing

TL;DR: This work delineates a distinct region in the ventral medulla that provides rhythmic input to the facial motor neurons that drive protraction of the vibrissae, and conjecture that the respiratory nuclei, which project to other premotor regions for oral and facial control, function as a master clock for behaviours that coordinate with breathing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Corticothalamic projections from layer V cells in rat are collaterals of long-range corticofugal axons.
TL;DR: The thalamic projections of layer V cells were mapped at a single cell level following small microiontophoretic injections of biocytin performed in the motor, somatosensory and visual cortices in rats and revealed that they are all collaterals of long-range corticofugal axons.
