TLDR
The data imply that TRH enhances excitability in PVT neurons via concurrently decreasing a G-protein-gated inwardly rectifying K(+) conductance and activating a cationic conductance with characteristics reminiscent of TRPC-like channels, possibly involving TRPC4/C5 subunits.

Intrinsic properties and neuropharmacology of midline paraventricular thalamic nucleus neurons.

TL;DR: An initial survey of intrinsic and transmitter-sensitive ionic conductances that are deemed to be unique to this population of midline thalamic neurons is presented, information that is fundamental to an appreciation of the role these thalami neurons may play in normal central nervous system (CNS) physiology and in CNS disorders that involve the dorsomedial thalamus.

SLEEP AND AROUSAL: Thalamocortical Mechanisms

TL;DR: The release of several different neurotransmitters from the brain stem, hypothalamus, basal forebrain, and cerebral cortex results in a depolarization of thalamocortical and thalamic reticular neurons and an enhanced excitability in many cortical pyramidal cells, thereby suppressing the generation of sleep rhythms and promoting a state that is conducive to sensory processing and cognition.

The intralaminar and midline nuclei of the thalamus. Anatomical and functional evidence for participation in processes of arousal and awareness

TL;DR: The present account provides an overview of the results of neuroanatomical tracing studies on the connections of the individual intralaminar and midline thalamic nuclei in the rat, that have been performed over the past decade in the laboratory, and concludes that the midline and intralami nuclei can be clustered into four groups.

TRPC1 and TRPC5 form a novel cation channel in mammalian brain.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that TRPC1 and TRPC5 are subunits of a heteromeric neuronal channel, and proposed that many TRPC heteromers form diverse receptor-regulated nonselective cation channels in the mammalian brain.

Immunohistochemical localization of Ih channel subunits, HCN1-4, in the rat brain.

TL;DR: The results indicate that HCNs are localized not only in somato‐dendritic compartments but also in axonal compartments of neurons and further suggest unexpected roles of Ih channels in the brain.
