  • Title: The role of the ventromedial thalamic nucleus in the catalepsy evoked from the substantia nigra pars reticulata in rats.
    Author: Kolasiewicz W, Wolfarth S, Ossowska K.
    Journal: Neurosci Lett; 1988 Jul 19; 90(1-2):219-23. PubMed ID: 3412645.
    Abstract:
    Picrotoxin (25, 50 and 100 ng), injected unilaterally into the posterior part of the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNR) of rats, evoked a dose-dependent catalepsy. The catalepsy evoked by 100 ng of picrotoxin injected into the SNR was abolished by a subsequent bilateral injection of the same drug (200 ng) into the ventromedial thalamic nuclei. It is suggested that impulses pertinent to the catalepsy evoked from the SNR are transmitted via a GABAergic pathway to the ventromedial thalamic nucleus, wherefrom they reach the striatum, as had been shown previously.
