Voltage-gated calcium channels couple depolarization of the cell-surface membrane to entry
of calcium, which triggers secretion, contraction, neurotransmission, gene expression, and …

Voltage-gated sodium channels initiate action potentials in nerve and muscle, and voltage-
gated calcium channels couple depolarization of the plasma membrane to intracellular …

Neuroscience research has exploded, with more than fifty thousand neuroscientists applying
increasingly advanced methods. A mountain of new facts and mechanisms has emerged …

Slow waves represent one of the prominent EEG signatures of non-rapid eye movement
(non-REM) sleep and are thought to play an important role in the cellular and network …

We investigated locus coeruleus (LC) modulation of thalamic feature selectivity through
reverse correlation analysis of single-unit recordings from different stages of the rat vibrissa …

Behaviorally and pathologically relevant cortico-thalamo-cortical oscillations are driven by
diverse interacting cell-intrinsic and synaptic processes. However, the mechanism that gives …

Low-voltage-activated T-type Ca2+ channels are widely expressed in various types of
neurons. Once deinactivated by hyperpolarization, T-type channels are ready to be activated …

Abnormalities in thalamocortical crosstalk can lead to neuropsychiatric disorders. Variants in
CACNA1G, which encodes the α1G subunit of the thalamus-enriched T-type calcium …

Oxytocin (OXT) neurons in paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus (PVN) are involved in
modulating multiple functions, including social, maternal, feeding, and emotional related …

A major synaptic input to the thalamus originates from neurons in cortical layer 6 (L6);
however, the function of this cortico–thalamic pathway during sensory processing is not well …
