[HTML][HTML] The thalamostriatal system in normal and diseased states

Y Smith, A Galvan, TJ Ellender, N Doig… - Frontiers in systems …, 2014 - frontiersin.org
Because of our limited knowledge of the functional role of the thalamostriatal system, this
massive network is often ignored in models of the pathophysiology of brain disorders of basal …

[HTML][HTML] Histamine and the striatum

JP Bolam, TJ Ellender - Neuropharmacology, 2016 - Elsevier
The neuromodulator histamine is released throughout the brain during periods of wakefulness.
Combined with an abundant expression of histamine receptors, this suggests potential …

Association of checklist use in endotracheal intubation with clinically important outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

JS Turner, AW Bucca, SL Propst, TJ Ellender… - JAMA Network …, 2020 - jamanetwork.com
Importance Endotracheal intubation of critically ill patients is a high-risk procedure. Checklists
have been advocated to improve outcomes. Objective To assess whether the available …

Optogenetic silencing strategies differ in their effects on inhibitory synaptic transmission

JV Raimondo, L Kay, TJ Ellender, CJ Akerman - Nature neuroscience, 2012 - nature.com
Optogenetic silencing using light-driven ion fluxes permits rapid and effective inhibition of
neural activity. Using rodent hippocampal neurons, we found that silencing activity with a …

Maintaining network activity in submerged hippocampal slices: importance of oxygen supply

N Hajos, TJ Ellender, R Zemankovics… - European Journal of …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
TJ Ellender was supported by an OXION Wellcome Trust-funded 4-year DPhil studentship.
We are very grateful to K. Buckler for the loan of instruments for oxygen measurements, and …

Excitatory effects of parvalbumin-expressing interneurons maintain hippocampal epileptiform activity via synchronous afterdischarges

TJ Ellender, JV Raimondo, A Irkle… - Journal of …, 2014 - Soc Neuroscience
Epileptic seizures are characterized by periods of hypersynchronous, hyperexcitability
within brain networks. Most seizures involve two stages: an initial tonic phase, followed by a …

Priming of hippocampal population bursts by individual perisomatic-targeting interneurons

TJ Ellender, W Nissen, LL Colgin, EO Mann… - Journal of …, 2010 - Soc Neuroscience
Hippocampal population bursts (“sharp wave–ripples”) occur during rest and slow-wave
sleep and are thought to be important for memory consolidation. The cellular mechanisms …

Differential modulation of excitatory and inhibitory striatal synaptic transmission by histamine

TJ Ellender, I Huerta-Ocampo… - Journal of …, 2011 - Soc Neuroscience
Information processing in the striatum is critical for basal ganglia function and strongly
influenced by neuromodulators (eg, dopamine). The striatum also receives modulatory afferents …

[PDF][PDF] A hippocampus-accumbens tripartite neuronal motif guides appetitive memory in space

S Trouche, V Koren, NM Doig, TJ Ellender, M El-Gaby… - Cell, 2019 - cell.com
Retrieving and acting on memories of food-predicting environments are fundamental
processes for animal survival. Hippocampal pyramidal cells (PYRs) of the mammalian brain …

Heterogeneous properties of central lateral and parafascicular thalamic synapses in the striatum

TJ Ellender, J Harwood, P Kosillo… - The Journal of …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Key points • The excitatory afferents to the striatum from the cortex and thalamus are critical
in the expression of basal ganglia function. • Thalamostriatal afferents are markedly …
