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 …

Studies on the visual thalamic relays, the lateral geniculate nucleus and pulvinar, provide
three key properties that have dramatically changed the view that the thalamus serves as a …

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 …

Neuroscientists from across the country gathered at the University of Wisconsin, Madison in
September to honor Ray Guillery and his seminal work on the thalamus. The meeting …

Recent observations of single axons and review of older literature show that axons afferent
to the thalamus commonly branch, sending one branch to the thalamus and another to a …

Two leading authorities on thalamocortical connections consider how the neural circuits of
the brain relate to our actions and perceptions. In this book, two leading authorities on the …

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 …

What are the functions implemented by neurons in the sensory nuclei of the thalamus? It
seems that this question has accompanied cortical and thalamic studies since their onset …

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 …

Every cortical area receives input from the thalamus and projects to the thalamus. The cortex
and thalamus, therefore, are inseparable partners for sensation, action, and cognition …
