Almost all of the messages that are received by the cerebral cortex from the environment
or from the body's internal receptors come through the thalamus and much current thought
about perceptual processing is based on sensory pathways that relay in the thalamus.
This volume focuses on three major areas: the role of thalamocortical communication
in cognition and attention; the role of the thalamus in communication between cortical
areas; the hypothesis that much or all of the information relayed by thalamus, even
to classical, pure "sensory" areas of cortex, represents a corollary message being
sent simultaneously to motor centers. It presents a broad overview of important recent
advances in these areas. * Provides a look at brain structures involved in perception
and action * Includes summaries by leading investigators in the field * Presents recent
advances in our understanding of brain functions
