New paper from the Geffen and @labhaas.bsky.social Laboratories just published! We find that the enigmatic thalamic reticular nucleus exerts bi-directional cell-specific control over sound processing. The super-thin sheet of inhibitory neurons is rather mighty and highly computationally relevant!
The medial geniculate body #MGB in the #auditory #thalamus is a key early node in sound processing. @geffenlab.bsky.social &co show in mice that two inhibitory neuron types have distinct connectivity & effects on sound processing. @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/47twOtM
