Press release: Central switchboard thalamus
How do deeper areas of the brain control the dynamics in the cerebral cortex? This question is the focus of a new research network coordinated by the Allen Institute in Seattle, America. A sub-project is located at the Göttingen Campus Institute for Dynamics of Biological Networks (CIDBN). There, the scientists aim to elucidate how the cerebral cortex interacts with subcortical structures. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), the world’s largest public funder of basic biomedical research, is funding the research network for five years with a total of around 18 million euros.
