Thalamocortical Oscillations: Local Control of EEG Slow Waves

Timofeev, Igor, Chauvette, Sylvain·2011·Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry

Abstract

This article starts with a brief review of the thalamocortical system architecture, which is composed of the projecting thalamic nuclei, the thalamic reticular nucleus, and the neocortex. Then we provide a description of the three states of vigilances followed by a detailed review of major brain rhythms present in the thalamocortical system, ranging from very slow to very fast oscillations. We provide descriptions of known mechanisms and hypotheses for unknown mechanisms for the generation of the different rhythms. The last part offers a detailed review on sleep slow oscillation describing its properties in the thalamocortical system, proposing a mechanism of generation of active states and a description of their propagation. Keywords: Slow-wave sleep, Slow oscillation, sleep, thalamocortical, states of vigilance, thalamocortical system architecture, projecting thalamic nuclei, hypotheses, vast majority of fibers, giant synapses, glutamatergic axons, thalamic nucleus, corticothalamic axons, electrotonically RE neurons, cortical layers, intrinsically-bursting neurons

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The slow oscillation of the intact brain likely reflects an interaction between cortical and thalamic networks.

    “Nevertheless, the slow oscillation of the intact brain likely reflects an interaction between cortical and thalamic networks (239, 1196).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
