Dynamic Modulation of Beta-Band Oscillations in the LGN and Their Role in Visual Processing

The paper investigates beta-band oscillations in the LGN and V1 of macaques, finding they are suppressed by visual stimulation and attention, suggesting they represent signal suppression rather than enhancing visual processing.

Causal role for pulvinar burst firing in thalamo-cortical attention control

This study shows that pulvinar bursts modulate attention and improve behavioral performance in macaques.

Spatial Attention Weakly Modulates Visual Responses in the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus

The paper examines the effect of spatial attention on visual responses in the macaque lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and finds weak, inconsistent modulation of firing rates.

The augmentation of retinogeniculate communication during thalamic burst mode

This study investigates how burst mode in the thalamus enhances retinogeniculate communication by amplifying retinal signals during visual stimulation.
