Thalamic deep brain stimulation paradigm to reduce consciousness: Cortico-striatal dynamics implicated in mechanisms of consciousness
Fig 13
Neural correlates of VPC involve substantial impairment of communication in thalamo-cortical and cortico-striatal circuits.
A-C, Connection diagrams summarizing key coherence and power patterns within and between different areas (A) just before, (B) at onset, and (C) ongoing during VPC. Arrows show increased (thicker) or decreased (thinner) coherence between specified areas at lower (light blue) or broadband (pink) frequencies. Light gray arrows indicate pathways where coherence changes are relatively small or unchanged. Blue shading in areas shows power increases at low frequencies. Ls and Ld, superficial and deep layers of LIP; Fs and Fd, superficial and deep layers of FEF; CN, caudate nucleus; CL, central lateral thalamus. Diagrams summarize results from Figs 9–11, and values thresholded at .4 in Fig 12.
