Swamp Koks & Claustrum:

Do any of us realize we see iMax every single day and never even question it?
Ever wonder how your #brain coordinates all your #senses with your #thoughts? There’s a cool little spot between your ears called the #claustrum. It spans across the #corpuscallosum, and has pathways to each different #perception center and your #cortex.
Scientists have evidence that much #mentalillness such as #PTSD may stem from it’s dysfunction.
#Psychoactive drugs like #psilocybin work by disrupting it’s function.

There’s a little connective pathway in everyone’s brain called your #Claustrum. It’s the supervisor between all your senses and your grey matter.
It’s what gets you high when you take mushrooms or peyote.
When it doesn’t work right you get schizophrenia, mood disorders, epilepsy and a host of other brain dysfunctions.

some of our latest work on the #claustrum

My main thesis project just got published!!
I recorded 1,000+ claustrum neurons using whole cell patch clamp and found that the claustrum synaptically supports fMRI defined fronto-posterior cortical networks
The mouse claustrum synaptically connects cortical network motifs
