Figure 3. — Semi-schematic diagram showing how claustral connectivity fits into an extended cortico-thalamo-hippocampal circuit. Nucleus reuniens (Re) and the rhomboid nuclei (Rh) of the midline thalamus act as a critical hub for medial prefrontal-hippocampal interactions that are known to underlie mnemonic processes. The claustrum shares many of these connections, through dense reciprocal thalamic, prefrontal and parahippocampal connections.

CA1: field CA1 of the hippocampal formation; Cg1: cingulate cortex, area 1; dSUB: dorsal subiculum; Ent: entorhinal cortices; fmi: forceps minor of the corpus callosum; IL: infralimbic cortex; PL: prelimbic cortex; rCLA: rostral claustrum; vRE: ventral reuniens thalamic nucleus.
