GABA immunoreactivity in the thalamic reticular nucleus of the rat. A light and electron microscopical study.
TLDR
Combined light and electron microscopic investigations show that the thalamic reticular nucleus of the rat contains a homogeneous population of GABA-immunoreactive neurons receiving extensive GABAergic connections suggestive of self-inhibitory inputs.About:

The thalamic reticular nucleus: structure, function and concept.
TL;DR: The present critical survey emphasizes the TRN's complexity, and provides arguments combining anatomy, physiology and cognitive psychology, to discuss some recent cellular and network findings concerning this diencephalic GABAergic structure.

Distribution of the mRNA for a metabotropic glutamate receptor (mGluR3) in the rat brain: An in situ hybridization study
TL;DR: The distribution of mGluR3 mRNA in particular neurons and glial cells indicates specific roles of mR3 in the glutamatergic system of the central nervous system.

TL;DR: Nicotine binding studies in postmortem brain indicate that high-affinity nicotinic receptors may also be affected in schizophrenia, and genetic linkage in schizophrenic families supports a role for thealpha 7 subunit with linkage at the alpha 7 locus on chromosome 15.

GABA neurons are the major cell type of the nucleus reticularis thalami
TL;DR: This finding suggests that GABA-mediated inhibition of GABA neurons may occur in the NR of normal (untreated) rats, and the large number of GAD-positive cell bodies within the NR contrasts with a paucity of positively-stained somata in the more internally located thalamic nuclei.

Antisera to gamma-aminobutyric acid. II. Immunocytochemical application to the central nervous system.
TL;DR: The antiserum allows the demonstration of immunoreactive GABA in neurons containing other neuroactive substances; cholecystokinin and GABA immunoreactivities have been shown in the same neurons of the hippocampus.

Neural elements containing glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the rat; immunohistochemical studies by light and electron microscopy
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
