Feedforward, feedback and inhibitory connections in primate visual cortex (2004, background): “One of the more intriguing ideas to have emerged in recent years is the possibility that the classical cortico-cortical feedforward pathway has been overrated, or at the very least an important alternate pathway has been ignored (Guillery & Sherman, 2002).”
Exploring the Thalamus and its Role in Cortical Function, S.M. Sherman, R.W. Guillery (Eds.). The MIT Press (2006), ISBN: 0-262-19532-1 (2007, background): “These nuclei receive their major driving afferents from the cerebral cortex itself and therefore act as relays on corticocortical pathways, not as relays of subcortical afferents to cortex (Sherman & Guillery, 1996; Guillery & Sherman, 2002a).”
The Human Thalamus Is an Integrative Hub for Functional Brain Networks (2016, background): “The thalamus can be divided into two types of nuclei: first order and higher order thalamic nuclei (4-6).”
Thalamic neuromodulation and its implications for executive networks (2014, background): “…spike transmission by adjusting the cellular and synaptic mechanisms underlying spike generation; by doing so, they are thought to fine-tune the message relayed by thalamic cells and control its probability of transmission (reviewed in Sherman and Guillery, 1998; Guillery and Sherman, 2002).”
Common and unique components of response inhibition revealed by fMRI (2005, background): “Thalamic and right parietal activations unique to the GNG task may reflect motor inhibition, through thalamocortical (Guillery and Sherman, 2002) and thalamostriatal loops (Alexander et al., 1986), and control of response execution timing and readiness, though these speculations await support from…”
The role of the thalamus in the flow of information to the cortex. (2002, background): “Evidence for comparable higher-order circuits can be seen in several other thalamic nuclei that receive cortical afferents that resemble RL afferents or originate in cortical layer 5 (summarized by Sherman & Guillery 2001; Guillery & Sherman 2002).”
Neurophysiological and Computational Principles of Cortical Rhythms in Cognition (2010, background): “Synchronization also involves interactions between the neocortex and the thalamus (235, 391, 451, 483, 451, 601, 907, 1007).”
Do We Know What the Early Visual System Does? (2005, background): “Additional input to LGN relay cells originates from other geniculate neurons, from subcortical structures, and from cortex (Guillery and Sherman, 2002).”
Hyperpolarization-activated cation channels: from genes to function. (2009, neutral): “The output frequency of these neurons increases with increasing depolarization induced by afferent excitatory inputs (165).”
Tuning out the noise: Limbic-auditory interactions in tinnitus (2010, neutral): “Serotonin excites the GABAergic neurons of the TRN (McCormick and Wang, 1991; Pape and McCormick, 1989), which in turn exert a powerful inhibitory influence on sensory thalamic relay cells (Guillery and Sherman, 2002).”
Identification of Human Gustatory Cortex by Activation Likelihood Estimation (2011, background): “It has recently been proposed that the thalamus plays a dynamic role in sensory processing, possibly contributing to selective relaying of sensory signals to enable an organism to engage in goal-directed behavior [Guillery and Sherman, 2002].”
