Hippocampal modulation of cingulate cortex and limbic thalamus during learning
Abstract
dc:descriptionA characteristic of the cingulo-thalamic or the subicular thalamic pathway had been investigated during the discriminative avoidance conditioning in which a CR of stepping in an activity wheel prevents a footshock 5 sec. after an auditory CS+. Enhanced neuronal discharges in the mediodorsal (MDN) and the anterior ventral (AVN) thalamic nuclei were found in rabbits with the combined lesions of posterior cingulate cortex and subiculum in Experiment 1 as after the separate lesions in a previous study (Gabriel et al, 1987). The frequency of CR was also greater in rabbits with the combined lesions during early training. This result suggests that both cingular and subicular input limits the firing of thalamic neurons.
