Subpopulation of thalamic neurons possesses distinct anatomical connectivities and electrophysiological properties in the anterior thalamic nucleus
Dongkyun Lim, Michael Graupner, Desdemona Fricker · FENS Forum 2024
The Head Direction (HD) system is important for spatial orientation. The Anterior thalamic nucleus (ATN) is one of the critical brain regions for the system. It is composed of two main subdivisions: the anterodorsal nucleus (AD) and anteroventral nucleus (AV). It receives HD inputs originated from the lateral mammillary nucleus (LMN), and it sends HD information to the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) and presubiculum (PrS). However, it has been unclear which thalamic neurons target RSC or PrS. Moreover, the input connectivity from the upstream lateral mammillary nucleus (LMN) is has not been clearl
