## Abstract Lowβvoltageβactivated (LVA) Ca^2+^ channels play a critical role in the generation of burst firing in the thalamus. Recently, three LVA Ca^2+^ channel isoforms (Ca~v~3.1, Ca~v~3.2, Ca~v~3.3) have been identified in the reticular thalamic nucleus (RE). Previous electrophysiological and m
In the WAG/Rij rat, a model for human absence epilepsy, spike-wave discharges (SWD) and absence epileptic behavior develop after the age of 3 months. The rostral part of the reticular thalamic nucleus (rRTN) is involved in SWD. Ca(2+) channels play a central role in the initiation and maintenance of
