A Brain Area Thought to Impart Consciousness Behaves Like an Internet Router https://b.mamund.com/3Gi8X3v

"The claustrum coordinates these networks to work together to accomplish the many different cognitively demanding tasks we perform on a moment-to-moment basis in everyday life."

Now publicly available, an fMRI dataset including over 150 younger and older adults. T1-weighted, functional MRI (fMRI), pulsed continuous arterial spin labeling (PCASL), proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS), and emotion regulation task during multiecho fMRI. During fMRI scans, physiological measures (blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and end-tidal CO2) were continuously acquired.

Great to start the new year with a new preprint. Check out the second paper from @Castaldo_Fr's PhD. In collaboration with @francpsantos, @blobsonthebrain, @Joana_Cabral__, @VohryzekJakub, @markwoolrich, Gustavo Deco, Paul Verschure and Karl Friston. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.12.19.520967v1 🧵1/6

Delighted to end 2022 with our first paper out today in @CellReports, and our image on the cover! Huge congratulations to first author Ashwini Hariharan!! We show #brain #pericytes increase blood flow to decreased local energy availability to preserve energy supply to #neurons.

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

@PessoaBrain @nbkroemer @cogneurophys invite Brian down to give a talk and he'll fill you in on all of it

@PessoaBrain @nbkroemer @cogneurophys

Thanks! Students Houman and Brent and PI Brian get all the credit.

#claustrum has a lot of connections, but the strength and direction of connections with cingulate and frontoparietal networks suggest a specific role in cognitive control, as we wrote about here https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1364661322002236

We focus on cognitive control, but as you suggest many other likely functional roles including sleep, anxiety, pain etc

some of our latest work on the #claustrum

The mouse claustrum synaptically connects cortical network motifs
