Journal ArticleDOI
Anatomical analysis of afferent projections to the medial prefrontal cortex in the rat
TL;DR: Based on patterns of afferent (as well as efferent) projections, PL is positioned to serve a direct role in cognitive functions homologous to dorsolateral PFC of primates, whereas IL appears to represent a visceromotor center homologously to the orbitomedial P FC of primates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nucleus reuniens of the midline thalamus: link between the medial prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus.
TL;DR: The possibility that nucleus reuniens gates the flow of information between the medial prefrontal cortex and hippocampus dependent upon attentive/arousal states of the organism is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limbic circuitry of the midline thalamus
TL;DR: The thalamus was subdivided into three major groups: sensorimotor nuclei (or principal/relay nuclei), limbic nuclei and nuclei bridging these two domains, and 'limbic' thalamic nuclei, which predominantly connect with limbic-related structures and serve a direct role in limbics-associated functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Projections of the paraventricular and paratenial nuclei of the dorsal midline thalamus in the rat.
TL;DR: PV/PT receive a vast array of afferents from the brainstem, hypothalamus, and limbic forebrain, related to arousal and attentive states of the animal, and would appear to channel that information to structures of the limbicForebrain in the selection of appropriate responses to changing environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efferent projections of reuniens and rhomboid nuclei of the thalamus in the rat
Robert P. Vertes,Walter B. Hoover,Angela C. Valle,Angela C. Valle,Alexandra Sherman,José J. Rodríguez,José J. Rodríguez +6 more
TL;DR: The nucleus reuniens (RE) is the largest of the midline nuclei of the thalamus and exerts strong excitatory actions on the hippocampus and medial prefrontal cortex, and efferent projections of RE as well as those of the rhomboid nucleus (RH) located dorsal to RE are examined.
