VPMpc (Ventral posteromedial nucleus of the thalamus, parvicellular part) functionally connects to GU (Gustatory areas)
All claims for this connection- Species
- Rat
- Result
- present
- Method
- electrical stimulation
- Sign
- excitatory
- Evidence
- Electrical stimulation of VPMpc evoked short-latency, monosynaptic-like depolarizing PSPs in GC regular-spiking neurons recorded intracellularly in vivo. The early component reversed near the AMPA reversal potential, and in half of the neurons tested it was followed by a polysynaptic GABAA-like inhibitory component.
- Measurements
- conduction delay: 4.1 ms
- conduction delay: 3.7 ms, n = 5
- conduction delay: 5.8 ms (SEM 0.3), n = 8

“The VPMpc stimulation produced monosynaptic-latency EPSPs in GC with an AMPA-like early reversal, and the latencies of 4.1, 3.7 (n=5) and 5.8 ms (SEM 0.3, n=8) match the reported onset values.”
