| Abstract | 1. In urethane-anaesthetized rats, studies were made on unit discharges of neurones of the thalamic reticular nucleus (tr) receiving the somatosensory input. Such units were found distributed in a part of the tr (s-tr) surrounding the anterior and anterolateral borders of the ventrobasal nuclear complex (vb). 2. A series of five to ten bursts of grouped discharges were elicited in the s-tr neurones as orthodromic responses to single shock stimulation of the medial lemniscus (ml) or the somatosensory cortex (smc). In contrast to this, the vb relay cells were fired by ml impulses only once at short latencies, though later there occurred a series of two to three bursts of grouped discharges. The same response pattern was seen by stimulating the smc, except that the initial response to smc shocks was of antidromic origin. 3. The mean response latency of the s-tr neurones to ml shocks was about 0.6 msec longer than that of the vb relay cells. Ml fibres connected to the s-tr neurones had the same distribution of conduction velocity as those connected to the vb relay cells. It is suggested that most, if not all, of the s-tr neurones are innervated by axon collaterals of the vb relay cells. 4. About half the s-tr units were activated from vibrissae. For most of the remaining half either movements of hairs or touch to the skin were effective. In the vb, the units discharged by movements of hairs were most numerous and those activated from vibrissae were less frequent. While responses of the s-tr neurones to adequate stimuli were almost exclusively of phasic type, 30% of the responses of the vb relay cells were tonic and the remainder were phasic. 5. By exploring the tr extensively, the s-tr was found to be contiguous caudally to the perigeniculate reticular nucleus which is immediately adjacent to the dorsal lateral geniculate nucleus and contains reticular neurones activated by visual stimuli. Though few in number, units were found in the tr which received a convergence of somatosensory and visual inputs or of somatosensory and auditory inputs. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
