1. Their short axonal parts contact thalamocortical or other local circuitry neurons. 2. The thalamus is connected to the cerebral cortex via the thalamocortical radiations. 3. This suggests that K cells act like other thalamocortical cells. 4. PVP is suspected to recalibrate basal ganglia activity in the thalamocortical pathway. 5. Thalamocortical dysrhythmia ( TCD ) is a proposed explanation for certain cognitive disorders.6. Unlike M and P cells, K cells are structurally similar to other thalamocortical neurons. 7. The first correspond to the " thalamocortical neurons " ( or principal ). 8. Their percentage in comparison to thalamocortical neurons varies across species, highly increasing with evolution. 9. The connection back to the thalamocortical neurons create " triads " modulating the thalamocortical output. 10. The connection back to the thalamocortical neurons create " triads " modulating the thalamocortical output.
