The structural connectivity mapping of the intralaminar thalamic nuclei [PDF]
The intralaminar nuclei of the thalamus play a pivotal role in awareness, conscious experience, arousal, sleep, vigilance, as well as in cognitive, sensory, and sexual processing.

Intralaminar and medial thalamic influence on cortical synchrony, information transmission and cognition [PDF]
The intralaminar and medial thalamic nuclei are part of the higher-order thalamus, which receives little sensory input, and instead forms extensive cortico-thalamo-cortical pathways.

THALAMIC NEUROMODULATION AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR EXECUTIVE NETWORKS [PDF]
The thalamus is a key structure that controls the routing of information in the brain. Understanding modulation at the thalamic level is critical to understanding the flow of information to brain regions involved in cognitive functions, such as the ...

The functional connectivity of intralaminar thalamic nuclei in the human basal ganglia. [PDF]
AbstractProjections of the centromedian‐parafasicularis neurons of the intralaminar thalamus are major inputs of the striatum. Their functional role in the activity of human basal ganglia (BG) is not well known. The aim of this work was to study the functional connectivity of intralaminar thalamic nuclei with other BG by using the correlations of the ...

Multiple functions of cerebello-thalamic neurons in learning and offline consolidation of a motor skill in mice [PDF]
Motor skill learning is a complex and gradual process that involves the cortex and basal ganglia, both crucial for the acquisition and long-term retention of skills.

Thalamus and consciousness: a systematic review on thalamic nuclei associated with consciousness [PDF]
IntroductionConsciousness relies on both cortical and subcortical structures and their feedforward and feedback pathways. Within this framework, the thalamus represents a relay station enabling the transmission, reception, and integration of information.

The intralaminar thalamic nuclei contribute to remote spatial memory. [PDF]
Recent studies have shown that the anterior (ATN) and lateral thalamic nuclei (including the intralaminar nuclei; ILN/LT) play different roles in memory processes. These nuclei have prominent direct and indirect connections with the hippocampal system and/or the prefrontal cortex and may thus participate in the time-dependent reorganization of memory ...

Thalamic nuclei volumes are related to disease stage in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]
ObjectiveTo explore atrophy patterns in thalamic nuclei at different phases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and determine any correlations between thalamic nucleus volume and either cognitive impairments or motor disabilities.MethodsWe used the ...

Neuroendocrine-vascular interaction is associated with thalamocortical disorganization and cognitive decline in perimenopausal hypertension [PDF]
BackgroundHypertension (HTN) during perimenopause significantly increases the risk of cognitive decline. However, how hemodynamic stress and hormonal fluctuations (e.g., estradiol depletion) interact to reshape the brain’s macroscale organization remains

Action Selection and Flexible Switching Controlled by the Intralaminar Thalamic Neurons
Summary: Learning processes contributing to appropriate selection and flexible switching of behaviors are mediated through the dorsal striatum, a key structure of the basal ganglia circuit.
