The nucleus reuniens has been shown to support the acquisition, consolidation, maintenance, destabilization upon retrieval, and extinction of aversive memories. However, the direct participation of this thalamic subregion in memory reconsolidation is yet to be examined. The present study addressed this ...
These 11 `head direction' cells are largely confined to a closely-connected network of sites. We describe, for 12 the first time, a population of head direction cells in nucleus reuniens of the thalamus in the freely- 13 moving rat. This novel subcortical head direction signal potentially ...
RE = nucleus reuniens of the thalamus, CS conditioned stimulus. Line plots represent mean ± s.e.m.s. *p < 0.05. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. Full size image During fear extinction, rats exhibited high levels of conditioned freezing behavior that extinguished...
Interestingly, the medial prefrontal cortex, in rats and other species, has no direct return projections to the hippocampus, and few projections to parahippocampal structures including the entorhinal cortex. It is well established that the nucleus reuniens of the midline thalamus is the major source ...
The thalamic nucleus reuniens (RE) receives dense projections from the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), interconnects the mPFC and hippocampus, and may serve a pivotal role in regulating emotional learning and memory. Here we show that the RE and its mPF
Here, we show that the nucleus reuniens of the midline thalamus gates mPFC control of VTA DA neuron firing by the hippocampus. These data identify a unique role for this corticothalamic-hippocampal circuit, and suggest that dysfunction in these regions likely influences the pathophysiology of ...
3.3Midline Nuclei Including the Nucleus Reuniens of the Thalamus The midline and intralaminar nuclei have extensive cortical connections and have been linked to specific cognitive functions (Groenewegen and Berendse, 1994). Thenucleus reuniensof thethalamushas reciprocal connections with key cortical and ...
(redirected from nucleus paracentralis thalami) par·a·cen·tral nu·cle·us of thal·a·mus [TA] one of the intralaminar nuclei of the thalamus, medial to the central lateral nucleus. Synonym(s): nucleus paracentralis thalami [TA] Farlex Partner Medical Dictionary © Farlex 2012...
The nucleus reuniens (RE) has been considered a crucial candidate in the modulation of memory specificity. Our study investigated its activation and functional connectivity with the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and hippocampus (HPC) as neurobiological mechanisms of negative overgeneralization in anxious...
Depression is a serious psychiatric disease, which is diagnosed twice as frequently in women than men. We have recently shown that lesioning or inactivation of the nucleus reuniens (RE), which interconnects the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and hippocampus, promoted resilience to stress in males, exerts...
