The thalamic nuclear complex contains excitatory projection neurons and inhibitory local
neurons, the two cell types driving the main circuits in sensory nuclei. While excitatory …

Directed differentiation of pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) is a powerful model system for
deconstructing embryonic development. Although mice are the most advanced mammalian …

The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) is an anatomical and functional hub that modulates the
flow of information between the cerebral cortex and thalamus, and its dysfunction has been …

The thalamus plays a crucial role in ensuring the faithful transfer of sensory information,
except olfactory signals, to corresponding cortical areas. However, thalamic function is not …

Anterolateral system (AS) neurons transmit pain signals from the spinal cord to the brain.
Their morphology, anatomy, and physiological properties have been extensively …

The thalamocortical projections are part of the most important higher level processing
connections in the vertebrates and follow a highly ordered pathway from their origin in the …

The thalamus plays a crucial role in ensuring faithful transfer of sensory information, except
olfactory signals, to corresponding cortical areas. However, thalamic function is not simply …

Pax6 is a well-known regulator of early neuroepithelial progenitor development. Its
constitutive loss has a particularly strong effect on the developing prethalamus, causing it to …

The ability to localize noxious stimuli, also known as nociceptive topognosis, is critical for
animal survival. Anterolateral system neurons (AS), many of which are commissural, transmit …
