The human claustrum is a small bilateral grey matter structure that is highly interconnected with cortical and subcortical regions. It has been implicated in different functions including sleep, multisensory integration, consciousness and attention, yet its exact function remains unclear. The primate claustrum is known to have distinct sensory regions, with the visual zone recently demonstrated...

The claustrum is a thin subcortical gray matter structure located between the insula and the putamen. It has numerous bilateral connections with the cortex and is thought to play an important role in higher-level aspects of perception and cognition, with hypotheses including multisensory integration, attention and consciousness. The claustrum’s thin shape makes it difficult to investigate,...

Over the last years, a number of studies have been conducted to clarify the neurobiological correlates of ketamine application. However, comprehensive information regarding the influence of ketamine on cortical activity is still lacking. Using resting-state functional MRI and integrating pharmacokinetic information, a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover study was performed...

BACKGROUND: Schizophrenia has been associated with disturbances of thalamic functioning. In light of recent evidence suggesting a significant impact of the glutamatergic system on key symptoms of schizophrenia, we assessed whether modulation of the glutamatergic system via blockage of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)-receptor might lead to changes of thalamic functional connectivity. METHODS:...
