Track-Weighted Dynamic Functional Connectivity Profiles and Topographic Organization of the Human Pulvinar.

ABSTRACT: The human pulvinar is considered a prototypical associative thalamic nucleus as it represents a key node in several cortico-subcortical networks. Through this extensive connectivity to widespread brain areas, it has been suggested that the pulvinar may play a central role in modulating cortical oscillatory dynamics of complex cognitive and executive functions. Additionally, derangements of pulvinar activity are involved in different neuropsychiatric conditions including Lewy-body disease, Alzheimer's disease, and schizophrenia. Anatomical investigations in nonhuman primates have demonstrated a topographical organization of cortico-pulvinar connectivity along its dorsoventral and rostrocaudal axes; this specific organization shows only partial overlap with the traditional subdivision into s
