The irregular firing properties of thalamic head direction cells mediate turn-specific modulation of the directional tuning curve.
O'MARA, SHANE; REILLY, RICHARD (2014)HEAD DIRECTION (HD) cells in anterior thalamus express a wide range of interspike intervals (ISIs) (Taube 2010). Given the importance of HD encoding for spatial navigation in the environment, it is crucial to understand ... -
Oscillatory Entrainment of Thalamic Neurons by Theta Rhythm in Freely-Moving Rats.
REILLY, RICHARD; O'MARA, SHANE MICHAEL (2011)The anterior thalamic nuclei are assumed to support episodic memory with anterior thalamic dysfunction a core feature of diencephalic amnesia. To date, the electrophysiological characterization of this region in behaving ... -
Respiratory cycle entrainment of septal neurons mediates the fast coupling of sniffing rate and hippocampal theta rhythm.
REILLY, RICHARD; O'MARA, SHANE (2014)Memory for odour information may result from temporal coupling between the olfactory and hippocampal systems. Respiration defines the frequency of olfactory perception, but how the respiratory rate affects hippocampal ... -
Theta-Modulated Head Direction Cells in the Rat Anterior Thalamus
REILLY, RICHARD; O'MARA, SHANE MICHAEL (Society of Neuroscience, 2011)A major tool in understanding how the brain processes information is the analysis of neuronal output at each hierarchical level along the pathway of signal propagation. Theta rhythm and head directionality are the two main ...
