Thalamic arousal-related (i.e. cardiac-BOLD) activity for the three task conditions. Activity was thresholded at a voxel-level p < 0.001 and small-volume corrected at a set-level of p < 0.002. Positive arousal-related activity was found within the ventrolateral pulvinar for both the Multi-Source Interference Task (MSIT) and Oddball Task (OBT). Negative arousal-related activity was found within the posterior dorsal pulvinar for all three task conditions, but was most extensive during rest.
