Mapping Projections through the Ventromedial Thalamus
Sanne M. Casello and Adam G. Carter
(see article e0067262026)
A major pathway involved in executive function and arousal stems from the ventromedial thalamus (VM) to the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). VM thalamocortical (TC) cells integrate inputs from the cortex, but whether TC cells also process subcortical inputs before projecting to mPFC is unclear. Casello and Carter used anatomical tracing, electrophysiology, …
