Functional Connections of Cortical Areas - A New View from the Thalamus

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 thalamus and its relationship to cortex build on their earlier findings to arrive at new ways of thinking about how the brain relates to the world, to cognition, and behavior. Based on foundations established earlier in their book Exploring the Thalamus and Its Role in Cortical Function, the authors consider the implications of these ground rules for thalamic inputs, thalamocortical connections, and cortical outputs.
