Look me in the eyes: constraining gaze in the eye-region provokes abnormally high subcortical activation in autism

N Hadjikhani, J Åsberg Johnels, NR Zürcher… - Scientific Reports, 2017 - nature.com
Abstract Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) seem to have difficulties looking
others in the eyes, but the substrate for this behavior is not well understood. The subcortical …

The mediodorsal pulvinar coordinates the macaque fronto-parietal network during rhythmic spatial attention

IC Fiebelkorn, MA Pinsk, S Kastner - Nature communications, 2019 - nature.com
Spatial attention is discontinuous, sampling behaviorally relevant locations in theta-rhythmic
cycles (3–6 Hz). Underlying this rhythmic sampling are intrinsic theta oscillations in frontal …

[HTML][HTML] A multisensory perspective onto primate pulvinar functions

M Froesel, C Cappe, SB Hamed - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2021 - Elsevier

The influence of subcortical shortcuts on disordered sensory and cognitive processing

J McFadyen, RJ Dolan, MI Garrido - Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2020 - nature.com
The very earliest stages of sensory processing have the potential to alter how we perceive
and respond to our environment. These initial processing circuits can incorporate subcortical …

An afferent white matter pathway from the pulvinar to the amygdala facilitates fear recognition

J McFadyen, JB Mattingley, MI Garrido - elife, 2019 - elifesciences.org
Our ability to rapidly detect threats is thought to be subserved by a subcortical pathway that
quickly conveys visual information to the amygdala. This neural shortcut has been …

A rapid subcortical amygdala route for faces irrespective of spatial frequency and emotion

J McFadyen, M Mermillod, JB Mattingley… - Journal of …, 2017 - Soc Neuroscience
There is significant controversy over the existence and function of a direct subcortical visual
pathway to the amygdala. It is thought that this pathway rapidly transmits low spatial …
