Traces of Learning in Thalamocortical Circuits

Publication date: 17 July 2019Source: Neuron, Volume 103, Issue 2Author(s): Alex J. Yonk, David J. MargolisA recent study (Audette et al., 2019) demonstrates that thalamic input from the posterior medial (POm) nucleus to somatosensory cortex plays an unexpected role in plasticity resulting from associative sensory learning. POm-mediated plasticity may be critical for coordinating learning-related sensorimotor circuitry.
