Subcortical Systems Flashcards
Aru et al. 2012
NCC-pr, might predict consciousness, but not support
Libet
Heart analogy
Ward
Thalamus is a dynamic hub, linked to entire brain
Crick 1984
Thalamic reticular nucleus - inhibition lets info travel to higher levels. Rapidly shift through environment, selective attention
Alkire 2005
Thalamus is a common locus of anaesthetics rCBF. Low level battery?
Schrouff et al. 2011
Frontal-parietal segregation also affected by anaesthetia - propofol. Cortical unconscious?
Schiff 2010
Mesocircuit model: Zolpidem calms GP, increasing thalamic activity. Worse the medial damage, the worse the disorder
Yamamoto et al. 2013
Thalamic DBS shows recovery from VS
Cavinato et al. 2011
Preserved islands of residual function: response to embedded name, mismatch negativity (speech automatic and non-conscious?)
Owen et al. 2006
SMA activation for tennis imagery
Levy + Dubois 2006
Autoactivation apathy (empty mind) with damage to basal ganglia circuits (Schiff)
Blanke et al.
Mania, delirium, psychosis disorders of consciousness? - TPJ and OBE
NCC may reflect pr-C
Aru et al. 2012
Heart analogy
Libet
Thalamus as a dynamic hub
Ward 2011
Thalamic reticular nucleus responsible, able to inhibit the thalamus through GABA, selective information, shift through environment
Crick 1984
Anaesthetics target thalamus - low level battery?
Alkire 2005
Propofol + frontal parietal segregation
Schrouff et al. 2011
Mesocircuit model - zolpidem calms GP, increasing thalamic activity. More medial thalamic damage, worse disorder
Schiff 2010
Thalamic DBS increases recovery from VS
Yamamoto et al. 2013
Preserved pockets of residual function - mismatch negativity to name, language automatic?
Cavinato et al. 2011
SMA activity for tennis imagery
Owen et al. 2006
TPJ relation to disorders of consciousness OBE, embodiment
Blanke et al
Autoactivation apathy “empty-mind” damage to basal ganglia circuits
Levy + Dubois 2006
