Mouse-human comparison reveals unexpected functions of the thalamus
by Ruhr-Universitaet-Bochum Human fMRI confirms the dlPFC, not OFC or MD, receives the driving sensory input. A. Strategy switching (Switching>Staying) entailed significant activity in right dlPFC, right OFC and right MD; here projected on axial, coronal and sagittal MRI brain slices. Brain activations displayed at p < 0.001 (uncorrected, red) and p < 0.05 (whole...
