Abstract

The thalamus, once considered primarily a sensory relay station, is now recognized as a crucial hub for various cognitive functions, including memory formation, attentional processes, executive control, and behavioral flexibility. This paper introduces the concept of the cognitive thalamus, focusing on specific thalamic nuclei and their complex interconnected circuits. It highlights conserved organizational principles and functional mechanisms that operate similarly in both human and rodent brains, providing insights into the thalamus’s fundamental role in cognitive processing.
