Modeling the role of the thalamus in resting-state functional connectivity: Nature or structure
Fig 1
Main schemes of thalamocortical interaction.
A) Functionally distinct parts of the thalamus including the dorsal thalamus with its anterior, lateral, and medial regions, the reticular nucleus as the main component of the ventral thalamus in green, and the intralaminar nuclei in grey. B) First-order relay scheme in which the subcortical/peripheral afferences are relayed to the cortex generally to layers 3 and 4. C) High-order relay scheme in which afferences from a cortical region are relayed to another. Coronal slices were acquired from the Big Brain project [17] using ebrains platform.
