leads to alterations in brain … , mostly attributed to diffuse axonal injury and the less known …

… Therefore, we hypothesized that lack of thalamic input strongly constrains the flexibility of
the cortex, and only allows it to adopt a small number of possible states. This hypothesis leads …

… that “while thalamus might be crucial for transmitting specific information that provides the
content of the waking state, and may therefore contribute to overall arousal if thalamic input …
