Experience-dependent MeCP2 expression in the excitatory cells of mouse visual thalamus. by Yuki Yagasaki, Goichi Miyoshi, Mariko Miyata

“…Consistent with this idea, MeCP2 null mutants exhibit synaptic regression in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN), the visual relay center in the thalamus, a phenotype resembling that of animals reared in the dark during the visual sensitive period. …”

Somatotopy of the sensory thalamus: inputs from directional deep brain stimulation in pain patients by Aurelie Leplus, Petru Isan, Anne Balossier, Sarah Mouffok, Anne Donnet, Theodore Papadopoulo, Michel Lanteri‐Minet, Jean Regis, Denys Fontaine

“…These representations differed across patients, did not follow a common organization and were not concordant with the previously described somatotopic organization of the sensory thalamus. Interpretation Thalamic reorganization has been reported in chronic pain patients compared to non‐pain patients operated for movement disorders in previous studies using intraoperative recordings and micro‐stimulation. …”

Separate anterior paraventricular thalamus projections differentially regulate sensory and affective aspects of pain by Selomon Assefa Mindaye, Wei-Hsin Chen, Shih-Che Lin, Yong-Cyuan Chen, Mohamed Abbas Abdelaziz, Yi-Shiuan Tzeng, Arthur Chun-Chieh Shih, Shih-Yu Chen, Shi-Bing Yang, Chien-Chang Chen

“…Here, we show that formalin-induced pain behaviors coincide with increased responses in glutamatergic neurons within the anterior paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVA). Furthermore, we describe non-overlapping subpopulations of PVAVgluT2 neurons involved in sensory and affective pain processing, whose activity varies across different pain states. …”

Gene expression analysis in the thalamus and cerebrum of horses experimentally infected with West Nile virus. by Melissa A Bourgeois, Nancy D Denslow, Kathy S Seino, David S Barber, Maureen T Long

“…These sequences were used to create a custom microarray enriched for neurological and immunological sequences to quantitate gene expression in the thalamus and cerebrum of three experimentally infected groups of horses (naïve/WNV exposed, vaccinated/WNV exposed, and normal).From the sequenced transcriptome, 41,040 sequences were identified by alignment against five databases. 31,357 good sequence hits (e<10(-4)) were obtained with 3.1% of the sequences novel to the equine genome project. …”

Visual Attention Decits in Schizophrenia Can Arise From Inhibitory Dysfunction in Thalamus or Cortex by Yohan J. John, Basilis Zikopoulos, Daniel Bullock, Helen Barbas

“…At the structural level, schizophrenia is associated with abnormal inhibitory control in the circuit linking cortex and thalamus. We developed a spiking neural network model that demonstrates how dysfunctional inhibition can degrade attentive gaze control. …”
