Summary

Although the specific function of the circuits and cellular properties of the thalamic relay for waking behavior is far from clear, two related hypotheses are offered based on recent experimental evidence: one is that theThalamus is not used just to relay peripheral information from, for example, visual, auditory, or cerebellar inputs, but that someThalamic nuclei are arranged instead to relay information from one cortical area to another.
