neurons in the thalamic reticular nucleus ( rt ) , a pure population of gamma-aminobutyric acid ( gaba ) ergic neurons which project their axons to thalamic relay nuclei , were found to have the lowest threshold for degeneration in this model , consistently undergoing degeneration under conditions which completely spared the hippocampal ca1 from degeneration .
