Short-term facilitation in the anterior cingulate cortex following stimulation of the medial thalamus in the rat.

The present study examined the distribution and localization of synaptic activities (field potentials, multiunit activities and sink source currents) evoked in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) by electrical paired pulse stimulation of the ipsilateral medial thalamus (MT). Male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized with halothane (1.0-1.
