| مستخلص: |
• A synopsis of recent papers about the reuniens and rhomboid nuclei (ReRh) is proposed. • Recent findings confirm a key role of ReRh nuclei in a multi-structural circuitry supporting numerous cognitive functions. • ReRh gate the information flow and coordinate activity between the medial prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus • ReRh nuclei are affected in diseases or disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease, depression, alcohol abuse, A. ALS). Over the past twenty years, the reuniens and rhomboid (ReRh) nuclei, which constitute the ventral midline thalamus, have received constantly growing attention. Since our first review article about the functional contributions of ReRh nuclei (Cassel et al., 2013), numerous (>80) important papers have extended anatomical knowledge, including at a developmental level, introduced new and very original electrophysiological insights on ReRh functions, and brought novel results on cognitive and non-cognitive implications of the ReRh. The current review will cover these recent articles, more on Re than on Rh, and their contribution will be approached according to their affiliation with work before 2013. These neuroanatomical, electrophysiological or behavioral findings appear coherent and point to the ReRh nuclei as two major components of a multistructural system supporting numerous cognitive (and non-cognitive) functions. They gate the flow of information, perhaps especially from the medial prefrontal cortex to the hippocampus and back, and coordinate activity and processing across these two (and possibly other) brain regions of major cognitive relevance.
