Characterizing functional modules in the human thalamus: coactivation-based parcellation and systems-level functional decoding

OJ Boeken, EC Cieslik, R Langner… - Brain Structure and …, 2023 - Springer
The human thalamus relays sensory signals to the cortex and facilitates brain-wide
communication. The thalamus is also more directly involved in sensorimotor and various …

Brainstem serotonin neurons selectively gate retinal information flow to thalamus

JDS Reggiani, Q Jiang, M Barbini, A Lutas, L Liang… - Neuron, 2023 - cell.com
Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) types relay parallel streams of visual feature information. We
hypothesized that neuromodulators might efficiently control which visual information streams …

Cholinergic input to mouse visual cortex signals a movement state and acutely enhances layer 5 responsiveness

B Yogesh, GB Keller - Elife, 2024 - elifesciences.org
Acetylcholine is released in visual cortex by axonal projections from the basal forebrain. The
signals conveyed by these projections and their computational significance are still unclear …

Look-up and look-down neurons in the mouse visual thalamus during freely moving exploration

P Orlowska-Feuer, AS Ebrahimi, AG Zippo… - Current Biology, 2022 - cell.com
Visual information reaches cortex via the thalamic dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN).
dLGN activity is modulated by global sleep/wake states and arousal, indicating that it is not …

Brain states: Sensory modulations all the way down

MJ McGinley - Current Biology, 2020 - cell.com
From wakefulness to sleep, and from moment to moment, the arousal state of the brain is a
powerful internal context that shapes our perception and actions. Using cutting-edge …

Sensory cortical ensembles exhibit differential coupling to ripples in distinct hippocampal subregions

H Jeong, VMK Namboodiri, MW Jung, ML Andermann - Current Biology, 2023 - cell.com
Cortical neurons activated during recent experiences often reactivate with dorsal
hippocampal CA1 ripples during subsequent rest. Less is known about cortical interactions …
