Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2015 Cognitive processing is commonly conceptualized as being restricted to the cerebral cortex. Accordingly, electrophysiology, neuroimaging and lesion studies involving human and animal subjects have almost exclusively focused on defining roles for cerebral cortical areas in cognition.

Acta Anaesthesiologica Taiwanica, 2013 The thalamus is a key relay station for the transmission of nociceptive information to the cerebral cortex. We review the input-output connection, functional imaging, direct neuronal recording, stimulation, and lesioning studies on the involvement of thalamus in acute and chronic pain functions.

Vestibular Interactions in the Thalamus [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2015 It has long been known that the vast majority of all information en route to the cerebral cortex must first pass through the thalamus. The long held view that the thalamus serves as a simple hi fidelity relay station for sensory information to the cortex, however, has over recent years been dispelled.

Early ictal recruitment of midline thalamus in mesial temporal lobe epilepsy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2019 The causal role of midline thalamus in the initiation and early organization of mesial temporal lobe seizures is studied. Three patients undergoing stereoelectroencephalography were enrolled for the placement of an additional depth electrode targeting ...

, 2015 The present chapter describes the anatomical organization of nuclei of the thalamus, together with functions considerations. The chapter first discusses some general aspects of thalamic organization including functional subdivisions of the thalamus, the categorization of thalamic afferents as drivers or modulators, and reciprocity in thalamocortical ...

eLife, 2019 Layer (L) 2/3 pyramidal neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) are sparsely active, spontaneously and during sensory stimulation. Long-range inputs from higher areas may gate L2/3 activity.

Position and size of massa intermedia in Serbian brains
Folia Morphologica, 2020 Background: Massa intermedia, a midline bar-shaped structure, connects two thalami across the third ventricle in 70–80% of healthy humans. It has become clinically important since its absence was comprehended as a midline malformation of the brain and ...

Thalamic input to auditory cortex is locally heterogeneous but globally tonotopic
eLife, 2017 Topographic representation of the receptor surface is a fundamental feature of sensory cortical organization. This is imparted by the thalamus, which relays information from the periphery to the cortex.

A cortico-subcortical loop for motor control via the pontine reticular formation
Cell ReportsSummary: Movement and locomotion are controlled by large neuronal circuits like the cortex-basal ganglia (BG)-thalamus loop. Besides the inhibitory thalamic output, the BG directly control movement via specialized connections with the brainstem.
