Abstract

Sprague-Dawley rats were trained to grasp and repetitively press a lever. 2-[14C]deoxyglucose (2-DG) autoradiographs of the brains of these animals revealed focal increases of 2-DG uptake in the reticular (R) nucleus of thalamus when compared to control subjects. The data demonstrate that 2-DG uptake increases in a nucleus which contains exclusively inhibitory neurons, and are pertinent to hypotheses that R might play a role in selective attention.
