The use of nonhuman primates (NHP) is invaluable for drug abuse research. The laboratory
animals most closely related to humans are NHP. The phylogeny, anatomy, physiology …

The functions of glutamate and GABA in the CNS are mediated by ionotropic and
metabotropic, G protein-coupled, receptors. Both receptor families are widely expressed in …

Subcortical loops through the basal ganglia and the cerebellum form computationally
powerful distributed processing modules (DPMs). This paper relates the computational …

OBJECTIVE: Deficits in sensory gating are a common feature of schizophrenia. Failure of
inhibitory gating mechanisms, shown by poor suppression of evoked responses to repeated …

The pulvinar is the largest nucleus in the primate thalamus and has topographically
organized connections with multiple cortical areas, thereby forming extensive cortico …

Objective: Intrathecal baclofen (ITB) pump is a therapeutic option for persistent vegetative
state and minimal conscious state patients that have associated spasticity. We investigated …

Neurons in the external and internal segment of the globus pallidus (GPe and GPi,
respectively) receive substantial GABAergic inputs from the striatum and through axon …

The localization of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) B receptors in the midbrain of the rat was
examined in multiple labeling studies using antibodies directed against the GABAB receptor …

The external globus pallidus (GP) firing rate synchronizes the basal ganglia-thalamus-cortex
network controlling GABAergic output to different nuclei. In this context, two findings are …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the distribution of γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA)
receptors in the thalamus and their involvement in nociception. GABA receptors are …
