The thalamus is a group of cells placed centrally in the brain that
serve a critical role in controlling how both sensory and motor
signals are passed from one part of the cerebral cortex to another.
Essentially, all information reaching the cerebral cortex and thus
consciousness is relayed through the thalamus. The role of the
thalamus in controlling the flow of information (such as visual,
auditory, and motor) to the cortex has only recently begun to be
understood. This book provides an in-depth look at the function of
the thalamus and its role as relayer of information to the cerebral
cortex. The authors explore how the thalamus controls messages that
are passed to the cortex and they introduce the novel suggestion
that the thalamus serves a critical role in controlling how
messages pass from one part of the cortex to another. Exploring the
Thalamus is a comprehensive, up-to-date reference for researchers.
It discusses problems concerning the function and structure of the
thalamus and concludes each chapter with thought-provoking
questions regarding future research.
Key Features:
* Focuses on thalamocortical interrelationships
* Discusses important problems concerning the function and
structure of the thalamus
* Concludes each chapter with thought-provoking questions requiring
future research
