A subcortical pathway through the superior colliculus and pulvinar to the amygdala is
commonly assumed to mediate the non-conscious processing of affective visual stimuli. We …

Attention exhibits characteristic neural signatures in brain regions that process sensory
signals. An important area of future research is to understand the nature of top-down signals …

Objective: Disrupted emotional processing is a common feature of many psychiatric
disorders. The authors investigated functional disruptions in neural circuitry underlying …

The basal ganglia, thalamus, and cerebral cortex form an interconnected network implicated
in many neurological and psychiatric illnesses. A better understanding of cortico-subcortical …

Perception in ambiguous environments relies on the combination of sensory information
from various sources. Most associative and primary sensory cortical areas are involved in …

The pulvinar is the largest nucleus in the primate thalamus and contains extensive,
reciprocal connections with visual cortex. Although the anatomical and functional …

Healthy aging is associated with structural and functional changes in the brain even in
individuals who are free of neurodegenerative diseases. Using resting state functional …

The pulvinar is the largest thalamic nucleus in primates and one of the most mysterious.
Endeavors to understand its role in vision have focused on its abundant connections with …

The second edition of this comprehensive textbook for students of Neuropsychology gives a
thorough overview of the complex relationship between brain and behaviour. With an …

Area V5 of the visual brain, first identified anatomically in 1969 as a separate visual area, is
critical for the perception of visual motion. As one of the most intensively studied parts of the …
