NEURAL CORRELATES OF RANDOM AND INFORMED SACCADIC CHOICES IN THE MACAQUE FRONTAL EYE FIELDS AND CENTRAL THALAMUS
The motor thalamus (OcTh) constitutes the penultimate synapse of a putative oculomotor feedback loop that originates in and returns to the frontal eye fields (FEF). To examine how this circuit may contribute to saccade target selection, neural correlates of perceptual judgment and motor choice were …

CELLULAR CODING PROPERTIES OF GOAL DIRECTED BEHAVIOR IN THE MEDIODORSAL AND INTRALAMINAR NUCLEUS OF THE RAT: COMPARISONS TO PREFRONTAL CORTEX
… (MD) and rostral intralaminar (IL) nuclei of central thalamus interact with prefrontal cortex (PFC) through multiple pathways to control goal directed behavior. The initial purpose of this dissertation was to characterize cellular coding properties of these nuclei in central thalamus using …

Neural dynamics of the anesthetized brain and the control of conscious states
… networks. Electrical stimulation of the central thalamus immediately and continuously reversed the neurophysiological effects of propofol and awakened the anesthetized monkeys. Thus, we interpret GABAergic anesthetics to produce unconsciousness via fragmented network dynamics facilitated …

Deep Brain Stimulation to Increase Generalized Arousal in Intact Mice and a Mouse Model of Traumatic Brain Injury
… (MCS) patients. In this context, DBS of the central thalamus (CT/DBS) is intended to act as a surrogate input from the ascending arousal systems to support cortical recruitment for cognitive tasks. To test the effectiveness of CT/DBS, intact mice and a mouse model of traumatic brain injury …
