relay nucleus

In addition to these projections, the NOT projects to the vestibular and vestibulocerebellar relay nuclei.

The ventral posterior nucleus is the somato-sensory relay nucleus in thalamus of the brain.

It is the relay nucleus from the nucleus accumbens to the medial dorsal nucleus.

Like other areas of the thalamus, particularly other relay nuclei, the LGN likely helps the visual system focus its attention on the most important information.

The classical separation into relay nuclei, receiving "specific" subcortical afferences or association nuclei, which would not, cannot be retained as absolute.

The ventrobasal complex ("'VB"') is a relay nucleus of the thalamus for nociceptive stimuli received from nociceptive nerves.

For example, they innervate the spinal cord, the brain stem, cerebellum, hypothalamus, the thalamic relay nuclei, the amygdala, the basal telencephalon, and the cortex.

In comparison parvalbumin immuno-reactive neurons (PIR neurons) can be found only in principal sensory and motor relay nuclei, and in the pulvinar as well the asintralaminar nuclei.

He performed experiments in the vestibular system (sense of balance) with Rhesus monkeys and found the thalamic relay nucleus, nucleus ventralis posterior inferior (VPI) for the vestibular projection to the cortex.

Functions of the cortex are divided it into three categories of regions: One consists of the primary sensory areas, which receive signals from the sensory nerves and tracts by way of relay nuclei in the thalamus.

Although it is widely believed that memory traces are localised to higher brain centres such as the cerebellum, hippocampus and amygdala, there is some evidence for the involvement of sensory relay nuclei existing below the level of these.

The midbrain contains essential relay nuclei of the auditory and visual system. Several regions of this structure play an important role in the direct control of eye movement, whereas others are involved in motor control of skeletal muscles.

If the choleretic response to feeding is mediated by a vago-bagal reflex, then it is likely that it relays in the solitary tract nucleus in the brainstem, which is the first relay nucleus for all afferent bisceral sensation.

Effects of Focal Administration of CBZ and Ganaxolone into Specific Thalamic Structures: We plan to study the effects of microinjecting CBZ and progesterone metabolites into the NRT and thalamic relay nuclei on the generation of absence seizures.
