Exploring the Thalamus and Its Role in Cortical Function, Second Edition
The thalamus plays a critical role in perceptual processing, but many questions remain about what thalamic activities contribute to sensory and motor functions. In this book, two pioneers in research on the thalamus examine the close two-way relationships between thalamus and cerebral cortex and look at the distinctive functions of the links between the thalamus and the rest of the brain. Countering the dominant "corticocentric" approach to understanding the cerebral cortex—which does not recognize that all neocortical areas receive important inputs from the thalamus and send outputs to lower motor centers—S. Murray Sherman and R. W. Guillery argue for a reappraisal of the way we think about the cortex and its interactions with the rest of the brain.

The book defines some of the functional categories critical to understanding thalamic functions, including the distinctions between drivers (pathways that carry messages to the cortex) and modulators (which can change the pattern of transmission) and between first-order and higher-order thalamic relays—the former receiving ascending drivers and the latter receiving cortical drivers. This second edition further develops these distinctions with expanded emphasis throughout the book on the role of the thalamus in cortical function. An important new chapter suggests a structural basis for linking perception and action, supplying supporting evidence for a link often overlooked in current views of perceptual processing.

About the Authors

S. Murray Sherman is Professor and Chair of the Department of Neurology, Neurobiology, Pharmacology, and Physiology at the University of Chicago.

R. W. Guillery is Emeritus Professor in the Department of Anatomy at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and at the University of Oxford and a fellow of University College London.


Reviews

"The authors have a depth of knowledge and passion for their topic that shines through the pages... Their ideas should form the basis for the next leap in understanding what the thalamus is and why it exists."
Catherine A. Leamey and Mriganka SurNeuron

"A scholarly study with great depth, touching not only its immediate subject but also addressing broad questions about the whole organization of the brain. . . . [I]t belongs on the shelves of all serious students of CNS."
Richard MaslundTrends in Neurosciences



Endorsements

"It is simply magnificent... All the chapters are excellent."
Vernon B. Mountcastle

"Sherman and Guillery are both pioneers of research on the thalamus. Together they have come up with a work that I consider a paragon of its type. It is factual, informative, well documented, and thought provoking, and will be most useful to students and researchers alike."
Mike Gutnick, Professor of Neurobiology, Hebrew University of Jerusalem



국내 대학이나 공공 도서관에 많이 없지 않나 싶구요, (모 도서관에는 확실히 있습니다.) 해외주문하시면 구하실 수 있을 겁니다. 

비싸니... 곰곰이 생각하시고...
