The cognitive thalamus as a gateway to mental representations

M Wolff, SD Vann - Journal of Neuroscience, 2019 - Soc Neuroscience
Historically, the thalamus has been viewed as little more than a relay, simply transferring
information to key players of the cast, the cortex and hippocampus, without providing any …
