Thin cell sheet {reticular nucleus} {nucleus reticularis thalami} (nRt) surrounds thalamus and has only inhibitory GABA neurons. Reticular nucleus receives from most axons to and from neocortex and interacts with its own neurons. It sends output to thalamus, to organize sleep rhythms, such as deep-sleep spindling and delta waves, and select sense channels to cortex.
