reticular nucleus

The lateral reticular nucleus sends all of its projections to the cerebellum.

Its function is modulatory on signals going through thalamus (and the reticular nucleus).

Most input comes from collaterals of fibers passing through the thalamic reticular nucleus.

The thalamic reticular nucleus is considered to be the pacemaker of the sleep spindles.

The Thalamic reticular nucleus, for example, is a thin layer of inhibitory neurons that surrounds the thalamus.

Inhibitory interneurons both in the cortex and the reticular nucleus of the thalamus regulate circuit activity.

The oral pontine reticular nucleus is delineated from its caudal brother, with which it shares its first three names.

The ventral reticular nucleus is a continuation of the parvocellular nucleus in the brainstem.

The reticular nucleus of the thalamus (not pictured) has nothing to do with the reticular formation; its naming was a coincidence.

The ventral reticular nucleus has been shown to receive afferent projections from the dentate gyrus in rabbits.

The lateral reticular nucleus, of the funiculus, can be divided into three subnuclei, the parvocellular, magnocellular and the subtrigeminal.

The dorsal portion of the reticular nucleus has been shown to innervate the mesencephalic trigeminal nucleus and its surrounding area.

The thalamic reticular nucleus receives input from the cerebral cortex and dorsal thalamic nuclei.

Electrical synapses are found throughout the nervous system, including in the retina, the reticular nucleus of the thalamus, the neocortex, and in the hippocampus.

The parvocellular reticular nucleus is part of the brain located dorsolateral to the nucleus reticularis pontis caudalis.

The thalamic reticular nucleus is part of the ventral thalamus that forms a capsule around the thalamus laterally.

Along with the oral pontine reticular nucleus, the midbrain reticular formation projects to the nucleus gigantocellularis.

Other nuclei of the subthalamus are the zona incerta, thalamic reticular nucleus, and the fields of Forel.

Lesions in the paramedian reticular nucleus have been shown to cause a stereotyped increase in the random patterns of motion in rats.

Primary thalamic reticular nucleus efferent fibers project to dorsal thalamic nuclei, but never to the cerebral cortex.

The reticular nucleus of the thalamus, when active, inhibits the sensory nucleus with GABA.

The caudal pontine reticular nucleus or nucleus reticularis pontis caudalis is composed of gigantocellular neurons.

Retrograde studies have shown that the deep mesencephalic reticular formation and oral pontine reticular nucleus project to the nucleus gigantocellularis.

This nucleus is located medially to the internal capsule, ventral to the thalamus, and is contiguous with the thalamic reticular nucleus.

The sensory nucleus is positively stimulated by acetylcholine, while the reticular nucleus is inhibited by acetylcholine.
