Functional neuroanatomy of the basal ganglia. (2012, neutral): “…found in ventral relay and associative thalamic nuclei (Barroso-Chinea et al. 2007), which contribute substantially to the thalamostriatal system (Beckstead 1984a,b; Smith and Parent 1986; Berendse and Groenewegen 1990; Erro et al. 2001, 2002; McFarland and Haber 2001; Van der Werf et al. 2002).”
Disrupted Amygdalar Subregion Functional Connectivity and Evidence of a Compensatory Network in Generalized Anxiety Disorder (2009, positive): “Activation of the midline thalamic nuclei is seen during endogenous and learned fear in rodents(55,56) and is associated with viscerosensory functions.(57) Finally, we found differential CMA connectivity with a midbrain region containing the ventral tegmental area and substantia nigra and extending ”
A hidden ambiguity of the term “feedback” in its use as an explanatory mechanism for psychophysical visual phenomena (2014, background): “…to awareness, “event-holding” the content in working memory, and alerting subjects to newly appearing objects and changes (Magoun, 1958; Purpura, 1970; Purpura and Schiff, 1997; Jones, 2001; Llinás and Ribary, 2001; Van der Werf et al., 2002; Ribary, 2005; Schiff et al., 2013; Saalmann, 2014).”
2007 Special Issue: Consciousness CLEARS the mind (2007, neutral): “SMART links attentive learning requirements to how laminar neocortical circuits interact with primary, higher-order (e.g., the pulvinar nucleus; Sherman and Guillery, 2001; Shipp, 2003), and nonspecific thalamic nuclei (van Der Werf et al., 2002).”
Persistent EEG overactivation in the cortical pain matrix of neurogenic pain patients (2006, background): “However, testing does not correct for multiple comparisons of frequencies and is therefore exploratory.”
Superior Colliculus and Visual Spatial Attention (2013, background): “However, portions of the intralaminar nuclei receive inputs from the intermediate and deeper layers of the SC and appear to play a more specific role in the processing of salient events (Sadikot & Rymar 2009, Smith et al. 2004, Van der Werf et al. 2002).”
