Sleep spindle oscillations consist of waxing–and–waning field potentials of 7 to 14 Hz, which last 1 to 3 seconds and recur every 5 to 15 seconds. These oscillations are generated in the thalamus by ...

Researchers have mapped the thalamic reticular nucleus in unprecedented detail, revealing that the region contains two distinct subnetworks of neurons with different functions. The findings could ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The thalamic reticular (RE) nucleus is a key structure in the generation of spindles, a hallmark bioelectrical oscillation during early stages ...

The thalamus is a 'Grand Central Station' for sensory information coming to our brains. Almost every sight, sound, taste and touch travels to our brain's cortex via the thalamus. Researchers now ...
