We now know that sensory processing in cortex occurs not only via direct communication
between primary to secondary areas, but also via their parallel cortico-thalamo-cortical (ie …

Higher-order thalamic nuclei contribute to sensory processing via projections to primary and
higher cerebral cortical areas, but it is unknown which of their cortical and subcortical inputs …

Pathways linking action to perception are generally presented as passing from sensory
pathways, through the thalamus, and then to a putative hierarchy of corticocortical links to …

Cortical projections to the thalamus arise from corticothalamic (CT) neurons in layer 6 and
pyramidal tract-type (PT) neurons in layer 5B. We dissected the excitatory synaptic …

The thalamus plays a critical role in perceptual processing, but many questions remain
about what thalamus activities contribute to sensory and motor functions. In this book, two …

Glutamatergic pathways in thalamus and cortex are divided into two distinct classes: driver,
which carries the main information between cells, and modulator, which modifies how driver …

Many of the axons that carry messages to the thalamus for relay to the cerebral cortex are
branched in a pattern long known from Golgi preparations. They send one branch to the …

Higher order thalamic neurons receive driving inputs from cortical layer 5 and project back to
the cortex, reflecting a transthalamic route for corticocortical communication. To determine …

Modern anatomical studies show that, contrary to the long‐held dogma, there appears to be
essentially no convergence of lemniscal, cerebellar, pallidal, or substantial nigral afferents in …

Several challenges to current views of thalamocortical processing are offered here.
Glutamatergic pathways in thalamus and cortex are divided into two distinct classes: driver …
