Cortico-thalamo-cortical circuits of mouse forelimb S1 are organized primarily as recurrent loops

KH Guo, N Yamawaki, JM Barrett, M Tapies… - Journal of …, 2020 - Soc Neuroscience
Cortical projections to the thalamus arise from corticothalamic (CT) neurons in layer 6 and
pyramidal tract-type (PT) neurons in layer 5B. We dissected the excitatory synaptic …

Synaptic circuit organization of motor corticothalamic neurons

N Yamawaki, GMG Shepherd - Journal of Neuroscience, 2015 - Soc Neuroscience
Corticothalamic (CT) neurons in layer 6 constitute a large but enigmatic class of cortical
projection neurons. How they are integrated into intracortical and thalamo-cortico-thalamic …

A sensorimotor pathway via higher-order thalamus

C Mo, SM Sherman - Journal of Neuroscience, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
We now know that sensory processing in cortex occurs not only via direct communication
between primary to secondary areas, but also via their parallel cortico-thalamo-cortical (ie …

The synaptic inputs and thalamic projections of two classes of layer 6 corticothalamic neurons in primary somatosensory cortex of the mouse

CM Whilden, M Chevée, SY An… - Journal of Comparative …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Although corticothalamic neurons (CThNs) represent the largest source of synaptic input to
thalamic neurons, their role in regulating thalamocortical interactions remains incompletely …

Multiple corticospinal neuron populations in the macaque monkey are specified by their unique cortical origins, spinal terminations, and connections

MP Galea, I Darian-Smith - Cerebral cortex, 1994 - academic.oup.com
In primates, multiple corticospinal projections from the sensorimotor cortex operate in
concert to regulate voluntary action. We examined the soma distributions of all those …

Intrinsic circuitry involving the local axon collaterals of corticothalamic projection cells in mouse SmI cortex

EL White, A Keller - Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1987 - Wiley Online Library
The objective of this study was to identify the components involved in a local synaptic circuit
in the mouse cerebral cortex. The local axon collaterals of corticothalamic (CT) projection …

Corticothalamic projections from the rat primary somatosensory cortex

HP Killackey, SM Sherman - Journal of Neuroscience, 2003 - Soc Neuroscience
To study the cells of origin of corticothalamic inputs to the ventral posterior and posterior
medial nuclei of the somatosensory thalamus in rats, we injected small aliquots of tracer into …

Arborisation and termination of single motor thalamocortical axons in the rat

TD Aumann, J Ivanusic… - Journal of Comparative …, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
The aim of this study was to examine the arborisations and terminations of individual
thalamocortical axons in the motor system of the rat. Small, extracellular injections of an …

Morphology of thalamocortical neurons projecting to the primary somatosensory cortex and their relationship to spinothalamic terminals in the squirrel monkey

T Shi, AV Apkarian - Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1995 - Wiley Online Library
This study examined the morphology of thalamocortical neurons projecting to the primary
somatosensory cortex (SI; hand region of areas 3a, 3b, 1, and 2) and their relationship to the …

Reevaluation of the primary motor cortex connections with the thalamus in primates

K Kultas‐Ilinsky, E Sivan‐Loukianova… - Journal of …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
Six injections (∼ 1 mm in diameter) of biotinylated dextran amine (BDA) were placed in
different locations of the primary motor cortex of the rhesus monkey. Anterograde and …
