A Functional Classification of Glutamatergic Circuits in Cortex and Thalamus

Simons Institute via YouTube

Overview

Explore a comprehensive lecture on glutamatergic circuits in the cortex and thalamus, delivered by S. Murray Sherman from the University of Chicago. Delve into the functional classification of these neural pathways, examining their roles in computational theories of the brain. Learn about the thalamus, postsynaptic receptors, and the metabotropic component of glutamatergic signaling. Investigate the textbook view of basal ganglia and contrast it with the dynamic perspective. Discover the properties of glutamatergic modulators and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Gain insights into monocyte achill staining techniques and the modulation of driver inputs. Conclude with a summary and engage in a question-and-answer session to deepen your understanding of this complex neurobiological topic.
