Thalamic deep brain stimulation paradigm to reduce consciousness: Cortico-striatal dynamics implicated in mechanisms of consciousness
Fig 12
Pathways involving thalamus and striatum dominate the changes in coherence attributed to VPC.
A-E, For each pairwise comparison across all areas, proportion of significant pixels indicating coherence increases/decreases at higher-frequency (β, γL, γH) or increases/decreases at lower-frequency (δ, θ, α) in time windows that (A) predate significant decoding and changes in consciousness (Pre 1, P1), (B) coincide with increased decoding and the start of changes in consciousness (Pre 2, P2), (C) coincide with behavioral changes (event onset, EO), (D) coincide with sustained changes in behavior and consciousness (After 1, A1), and (E) coincide with changed behavior but gradual restoration of consciousness as gauged with Φ* (After 2, A2).
