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?)
