Thalamic stimulation isolated specific interactions between cortical areas important for consciousness (Figure 4E). Effective stimulations resulted in targeted restoration of frontoparietal coherence in putative feedforward and feedback pathways (Figures 4F–4H). Coherence between superficial layers of LIP and superficial and middle FEF substantially reduced at delta (T = −4.05, n = 2,799, p = 8.6 × 10−4), and increased at alpha (T = 6.87, n = 2,799, p = 1.46 × 10−10), low gamma (T = 4.45, n = 2,799, p = 1.50 × 10−4), and high gamma (60–90 Hz; T = 3.03, n = 2,799, p = 0.027), for effective more than ineffective stimulations, as shown by significant interactions (Figure 4F). There was also a significant interaction for coherence between deep layers of FEF and superficial LIP at alpha (Figure 4G; T = 3.97, n = 1,617, p = 0.001), showing substantial increases in alpha coherence specific to effective stimulations. While coherence between FEF and LIP deep cortical layers did generally increase with stimulation, no interactions were significant (Figure 4H; Table S3 for complete statistics). Overall, more-conscious states showed increased alpha and gamma coherence in feedforward pathways as well as alpha coherence in the feedback pathways originating in deep layers and terminating in superficial layers of the lower-order area.
1. на гамму можно забить, ее невозможно трекать вне лаборатории.
2. таламические латеральные ядра, типа электрическая активность генерится из таламуса и распространяется по коре. ну видимо они как-то их стимулировали. может электричеством, не ясно вне контекста
3. LIP и FEF внешняя сторона внутренней борозды и фронтальная глазодвигательная область - проще по каналам писать, для тупых, но у них свои стандарты.
4. гипотезы подтверждаются пока что
