Nucleus Reticularis Thalami • NRT is a neural sheet draped over the lateral/anterior aspects of the thalamus • NRT is the functional interface between the arousal and attention systems • Receives axonal collaterals from corticothalamic, thalamocortical and reticular formation projections Portas et al. 1998, J. of Neuroscience, 18
ERPs • Tracking of covert information processing • Excellent temporal resolution • More direct assessment of energetic mechanisms
