DEVELOPMENTAL REMODELING OF RELAY CELLS IN THE DORSAL LATERAL GENICULATE NUCLEUS (dLGN) OF THE MOUSE AND THE ROLE OF RETINAL INNERVATION
… synaptic connections made with thalamocortical relay cells. By contrast, little is known about relay cells and the factors that regulate the growth and establishment of their dendritic architecture. In many systems, such growth seems consistent with the synaptotrophic hypothesis which states …

Circuit Development in the Dorsal Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (dLGN) of the Mouse.
… are present within the dLGN, thalamocortical relay cells and interneurons, both of which receive direct retinal input. Axons of relay cells exit dLGN and convey visual information to layer IV of cortex, whereas interneurons are involved in local circuitry. In addition, dLGN receives rich …

Mechanisms underlying retinogeniculate synapse formation in mouse visual thalamus
… (RG) synapses connect retinal ganglion cells to the thalamic relay cells of the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN). They are critical for regulating the flow of visual information from retina to primary visual cortex (V1). RG synapses in dLGN are uniquely larger and stronger than …

The Role of Synaptically Evoked Plateau Potentials in Retinogeniculate Development
… excitatory post-synaptic activity in developing relay cells in the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) of the thalamus and are reportedly needed to help guide the segregation of retinal inputs into eye-specific domains as well as for the pruning of extraneous retinal inputs onto single dLGN …

Neuromodulation of Inhibitory Activity in Thalamocortical Circuits
… distinct outputs: axonal and dendritic. These cells have classical axonal outputs, termed F1 terminals, as well as presynaptic dendrites that also release GABA and have been termed F2 terminals. In contrast, TRN neurons give rise to only axonal, F1 outputs. My data indicate that the rise time, …

Postnatal development of brainstem cholinergic inputs to the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus of the domesticated ferret, Mustela putorius furo
… Because of its dependence on postsynaptic (relay cell) activity, sub lamination may be influenced by extra retinal inputs which alter relay cell excitability. We have examined the postnatal development of cholinergic brainstem inputs to the dLGN to determine whether these inputs arrive in …
