1/ NEW PREPRINT: The mediodorsal thalamus (MD) is critical for cognition and implicated in several brain disorders. Panti et al. reveal that the MD is much more diverse than previously thought. doi.org/10.64898/202...
graphical abstract: top left- a 3D wireframe of a mouse brain from 3 angles, showing the locations of all the silicon probe tracks; top right- using electrophysiological characteristics, the central CM is distinct, shown as a tree diagram, and shown colour-coded on an anatomical diagram; bottom left- waveform, spiking and bursting metrics represented by lines for spikes, and a curve for the waveform; bottom right- anatomical boundaries of thalamic regions, from 2 different coronal planes, colour-coded for similarity in electrophysiological characteristics.
