Figure 2

Schematic drawing of the TRN-modulated thalamocortical looping model of conscious awareness. THL: thalamus, V1: the primary visual cortex. As the color of processing-flow lines gets darker (from yellow to orange, and finally to red), more elaborated information processing is being produced by means of iterating thalamocortical loops through the TRN. Cortical networks tie together neuronal assemblies in widespread cortical regions, and the TRN may play a central role in organizing all of the networks.
