Top-down control of cortical gamma-band communication via pulvinar induced phase shifts in the alpha rhythm.

Selective routing of information between cortical areas is required in order to combine different sources of information according to cognitive demand. Recent experiments have suggested that alpha band activity originating from the pulvinar coordinates this inter-areal cortical communication. Using...
