  1. ncbi Thalamic pathways for active vision
    Robert H Wurtz
    Laboratory of Sensorimotor Research, National Eye Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA
    Trends Cogn Sci 15:177-84. 2011
    ..The second two pathways might contribute to the neuronal mechanisms underlying visual spatial attention in cortex and in the thalamus itself...
  2. ncbi Attentional modulation of thalamic reticular neurons
    Kerry McAlonan
    Laboratory of Sensorimotor Research, National Eye Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20982 4435, USA
    J Neurosci 26:4444-50. 2006
    ..Thus, as predicted previously, TRN activity is modified by shifts of visual attention, and these attentional changes could influence visual processing in LGN via the inhibitory connections back to the thalamus...
  3. ncbi Guarding the gateway to cortex with attention in visual thalamus
    Kerry McAlonan
    Laboratory of Sensorimotor Research, National Eye Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892, USA
    Nature 456:391-4. 2008
    ..The reciprocal modulation in LGN and TRN appears only during the initial visual response, but the modulation of LGN reappears later in the response, suggesting separate early and late sources of attentional modulation in LGN...
