| Abstract | 1. The electrophysiological properties of neurones of the reticular thalamic (RE) nucleus were studied in acutely prepared cats under urethane anaesthesia. 2. Two main types of neuronal firing were recorded. At the resting membrane potential (-60 to -65 mV) tonic repetitive firing was elicited when the cell was activated synaptically or by current injection. From membrane potentials more negative than -75 mV, synaptic or direct stimulation generated a burst of action potentials. 3. The burst of RE cells consisted of a discharge of four to eight spikes riding on a slowly growing and decaying depolarization. The discharge rate during the burst showed a characteristic increase, followed by a decrease in frequency. 4. The burst response behaved as a graded phenomenon, as its magnitude was modulated by changing the intensity of the synaptic volley or the intensity of the injected current. 5. Spike-like small potentials presumably of dendritic origin occurred spontaneously and were triggered by synaptic or direct stimulation. They were all-or-none, voltage-dependent events. We postulate that these spikes originate in several hot spots in the dendritic arbor, with no reciprocal refractoriness and may generate multi-component depolarizations at the somatic level. 6. Excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSPs) evoked by internal capsule stimulation consisted of two components, the late one being blocked by hyperpolarization. Such compound EPSPs were followed by a period of decreased excitability during which a second response was diminished in amplitude. 7. A series of depolarizing waves at the frequency range of spindle oscillations was triggered by internal capsule stimulation. The individual depolarizing waves constituting the spindle oscillation gradually decreased in amplitude when decreasing the intensity of the stimulation. 8. These results, showing that RE cells are endowed with an excitable dendritic tree and a graded bursting behaviour, support the proposed role of RE nucleus as the generator and synchronizer of spindle rhythmicity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
