The parafascicular nucleus (Pf) receives cholinergic input from the pedunculopontine nucleus, part of the reticular activating system involved in waking and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and sends projections to the ...

The parafascicular nucleus (Pf) is an ascending target of the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPN) and is part of the “non-specific” intralaminar thalamus. The PPN, part of the reticular activating system, is mainly involved in ...

The parafascicular (PF) nucleus, a posterior component of the intralaminar nuclei of the thalamus, is considered to be an essential structure in the feedback systems of basal ganglia–thalamo-cortical circuits critically ...

Intrinsic, rhythmic subthreshold oscillations have been described in neurons of regions throughout the brain and have been found to influence the timing of action potentials induced by synaptic inputs. Some oscillations ...

The parafascicular (PF) nucleus, a posterior component of the intralaminar nuclei of the thalamus, is con-sidered to be an essential structure in the feedback systems of basal ganglia–thalamo-cortical circuitscritically ...

The parafascicular nucleus in rats and the centromedian parafascicular complex in primates and other mammals constitute the so-called posterior intralaminar nuclei (ILp) of the thalamus. Like the ascending reticular ...

La enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) es una enfermedad neurodegenerativa que afecta directamente el control del movimiento en las personas y se acompaña de cambios en la actividad eléctrica cerebral. Se ha demostrado que ...

This review considers recent evidence showing that cells in three regions of the reticular activating system (RAS) exhibit gamma band activity, and describes the mechanisms behind such manifestation. Specifically, we discuss ...

Synaptic efferents from the PPN are known to modulate the neuronal activity of several intralaminar thalamic regions (e.g., the centrolateral/ parafascicular; Cl/Pf nucleus). The activation of either the PPN or Cl/Pf nuclei ...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a simple molecule (N=O), a gas with a free radical property whose until the 80s was considered a member of a family of environmental pollutants and a potential carcinogen. Since its discovery in the ...
