Broca's area - thalamic connectivity.

摘要: Abstract Broca’s area is crucially involved in language processing. The sub-regions of (pars triangularis, pars opercularis) presumably are connected via corticocortical pathways. However, growing evidence suggests that the thalamus may also be and share some linguistic functions supported by area. Functional connectivity thought to achieved corticothalamic/thalamocortical white matter Our study investigates structural between thalamus, specifically ventral anterior nucleus pulvinar. We demonstrate shares direct connections with these thalamic nuclei suggest a local area—thalamus network potentially Thalamic serve selectively recruit cortical regions storing multimodal features lexical items bind them together during lexical–semantic In addition, area—thalamic circuitry enable cortico–thalamo–cortical information transfer modulation BA 44 45 comprehension production.
