Cortically-controlled population stochastic facilitation as a plausible substrate for guiding sensory transfer across the thalamic gateway.
The thalamus is the primary gateway that relays sensory information to the cerebral cortex.While a single recipient cortical cell receives the convergence of many principal relay cells of the thalamus, each thalamic cell in turn integrates a dense and distributed synaptic feedback from the cortex.During sensory processing, the influence of this fun
