We review the central tenets and neuroanatomical basis of the global neuronal workspace
(GNW) hypothesis, which attempts to account for the main scientific observations regarding …

The thalamus engages in various functions including sensory processing, attention, decision
making and memory. Classically, this diversity of function has been attributed to the nuclear …

Persistent neural activity maintains information that connects past and future events. Models
of persistent activity often invoke reverberations within local cortical circuits, but long-range …

The mediodorsal thalamus (MD) shares reciprocal connectivity with the prefrontal cortex
(PFC), and decreased MD–PFC connectivity is observed in schizophrenia patients. Patients …

Consciousness can be conceptualized as varying along at least two dimensions: the global
state of consciousness and the content of conscious experience. Here, we highlight the …

Although bradykinesia, tremor and rigidity are the hallmark motor defects in patients with
Parkinson's disease (PD), patients also experience motor learning impairments and non …

In this review, we present a survey on Korsakoff's syndrome (KS), a residual syndrome in
patients who suffered from a Wernicke encephalopathy (WE) that is predominantly …

The nucleus reuniens of the thalamus (RE) is a key component of an extensive network of
hippocampal and cortical structures and is a fundamental substrate for cognition. A common …

Deficits in cognition are a core feature of many psychiatric conditions, including
schizophrenia, where the severity of such deficits is a strong predictor of long-term outcome …

Reciprocal interactions between the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and thalamus play a critical role
in cognition, but the underlying circuits remain poorly understood. Here we use optogenetics …
