Figure 2. — In addition to the reciprocity of projections, divergence (A) and convergence (B) are two prominent features of thalamocortical organization. Whereas the former underscores the possibility that multiple thalamic microcircuits act in parallel to achieve cognitive functions, the latter offers enhanced integrative properties. Regarding convergence, MD innervation of the dmPFC and the OFC originates from essentially separate neuronal populations (light blue), even though some MD cells branch to several prefrontal areas. Sub, Submedius thalamic nucleus.
