Consciousness CLEARS the Mind [PDF]
, 2007 A full understanding of consciouness requires that we identify the brain processes from which conscious experiences emerge. What are these processes, and what is their utility in supporting successful adaptive behaviors?

In search of sleep biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease: K-Complexes do not discriminate between patients with mild cognitive impairment and healthy controls [PDF]
, 2017 The K-complex (KC) is one of the hallmarks of Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM) sleep. Recent observations point to a drastic decrease of spontaneous KCs in Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Corticothalamic interactions in the transfer of visual information [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2002 Thalamic function does not stand apart, as a discrete processing step, from the cortical circuitry. The thalamus receives extensive feedback from the cortex and this influences the firing pattern, synchronization and sensory response mode of relay cells.

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2017 There has been evidence that during brain development, emerging thalamocortical (TC) and corticothalamic (CT) pathways converge in some brain regions and follow each other's trajectories to their final destinations.

Corticothalamic projections control synchronization in locally coupled bistable thalamic oscillators [PDF]
, 2007 Thalamic circuits are able to generate state-dependent oscillations of different frequencies and degrees of synchronization. However, only little is known how synchronous oscillations, like spindle oscillations in the thalamus, are organized in the ...

eLife, 2019 Cortical layers (L) 5 and 6 are populated by intermingled cell-types with distinct inputs and downstream targets. Here, we made optogenetically guided recordings from L5 corticofugal (CF) and L6 corticothalamic (CT) neurons in the auditory cortex of ...

The biological cost of consciousness [PDF]
, 2012 Some philosophers maintain that consciousness as subjective experience has no biological function. However, conscious brain events seem very different from unconscious ones.

Frontiers in NeuroanatomyIntroductionIn primates, including humans, the centromedian/parafascicular (CM-Pf) complex is a key thalamic node of the basal ganglia system. Deep brain stimulation in CM-Pf has been applied for the treatment of motor disorders such as Parkinson’s ...

The Dynamic Role of Breathing and Cellular Membrane Potentials in the Experience of Consciousness [PDF]
, 2017 Understanding the mechanics of consciousness remains one of the most important challenges in modern cognitive science. One key step toward understanding consciousness is to associate unconscious physiological processes with subjective experiences of ...

Exploring functions for the non-lemniscal auditory thalamus
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2015 The functions of the medial geniculate body (MGB) in normal hearing still remain somewhat enigmatic, in part due to the relatively unexplored properties of the non-lemniscal MGB nuclei.
