Selective optical drive of thalamic reticular nucleus generates thalamic bursts & cortical spindles

The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) is hypothesized to regulate neocortical rhythms and behavioral state. Using optogenetics and multi-electrode recording in behaving mice, we found that brief selective drive of TRN switched thalamocortical firing mode from tonic to bursting and generated state-dep...

description The thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) is hypothesized to regulate neocortical rhythms and behavioral state. Using optogenetics and multi-electrode recording in behaving mice, we found that brief selective drive of TRN switched thalamocortical firing mode from tonic to bursting and generated state-dependent neocortical spindles. These findings provide causal support for the TRN in state-regulation in vivo and introduce a new model for addressing the role of this structure in behavior.
