Thalamic Circuit Mechanisms Link Sensory Processing in Sleep and Attention

The correlation between sleep integrity and attentional performance is normally interpreted as poor sleep causing impaired attention. Here, we provide an alternative explanation for this correlation: common thalamic circuits regulate sensory processing across sleep and attention, and their disruptio...
