The claustrum is one of the most widely connected regions of the forebrain, yet its function
has remained obscure, largely due to the experimentally challenging nature of targeting this …

Memory research remains focused on just a few brain structures–in particular, the
hippocampal formation (the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex). Three key discoveries …

The claustrum (CLA) is a conspicuous subcortical structure interconnected with cortical and
subcortical regions. Its regional anatomy and cell-type-specific connections in the mouse …

The claustrum is a functionally and structurally complex brain region, whose very spatial
extent remains debated. Histochemical-based approaches typically treat the claustrum as a …

The claustrum is densely connected to the cortex and participates in brain functions such as
attention and sleep. Although some studies have reported the widely divergent organization …

The dense fiber pathways that connect the insular cortex with frontal cortices are thought to
provide these frontal areas with interoceptive information, crucial for their involvement in …

Accurate anatomical characterizations are necessary to investigate neural circuitry on a fine
scale, but for the rodent claustrum complex (CLCX), this has yet to be fully accomplished …

The claustrum is known for its extensive connectivity with many other forebrain regions, but
its elongated shape and deep location have made further study difficult. We have sought to …

The claustrum is an enigmatic brain structure thought to be important for conscious
sensations. Recent studies have focused on gene expression patterns, connectivity, and …

The claustrum coordinates the activities of individual cortical areas through abundant
reciprocal connections with the cerebral cortex. Although these excitatory connections have …
