Abstract

Prefrontal cortex can exercise goal-driven attentional control over sensory information via cortical pathways. However, recent work demonstrates that prefrontal cortex can also influence thalamic relay nuclei via the thalamic reticular nucleus. This suggests the prefrontal-thalamic pathway mediates rapid and goal-driven attentional filtering at the earliest stages of sensory processing.
