A Parallel Tonotopically Arranged Thalamocortical Circuit for Sound Processing

In the mammalian brain, auditory perception relies on the transmission of information from the thalamus to the cortex. For a long time, the medial geniculate body (MGB) has been considered the primary hub of the auditory thalamus, responsible for transmitting sound signals to the auditory cortex (Auc). However, whether other thalamic inputs also pa...

Primate Thalamic Nuclei Select Abstract Rules and Shape Prefrontal Dynamics

Academic Background Cognitive control is the ability to flexibly adjust behavior according to goals and contexts, and the prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a crucial role in this process. Previous research suggested that the PFC reads out rules from high-dimensional representations of task variables to guide behavior. However, increasing evidence indic...

The Role of Motor Cortex in Striatal Motor Dynamics and Execution of Skilled and Unskilled Actions

Exploring the Crucial Role of the Motor Cortex in Basal Ganglia and Dynamic Motor Control Research Background and Motivation The role of the motor cortex (Motor Cortex, M1) in motor generation and regulation has long been a significant topic in neuroscience. The interaction between M1 and the striatum in selecting and executing goal-directed action...
