Control of spatiotemporal coherence of a thalamic oscillation by corticothalamic feedback
D Contreras, A Destexhe, TJ Sejnowski, M Steriade - Science, 1996 - science.org
The mammalian thalamus is the gateway to the cortex for most sensory modalities. Nearly all
thalamic nuclei also receive massive feedback projections from the cortical region to which …

The slow (< 1 Hz) oscillation in reticular thalamic and thalamocortical neurons: scenario of sleep rhythm generation in interacting thalamic and neocortical networks
M Steriade, D Contreras, RC Dossi… - Journal of …, 1993 - Soc Neuroscience
As most afferent axons to the thalamus originate in the cerebral cortex, we assumed that the
slow (< 1 Hz) cortical oscillation described in the two companion articles is reflected in …
