Thalamocortical interactions reflecting the intensity of flicker light-induced visual hallucinatory phenomena.
Network neuroscience (Cambridge, Mass.) – January 01, 2025
Summary
Flicker light stimulation can induce visual hallucinations, revealing intriguing insights into altered states of consciousness. This study found that rhythmic flicker enhances connectivity between thalamic nuclei and higher-order visual cortices, correlating with the intensity of hallucinations. These findings deepen our understanding of thalamocortical connectivity in hallucinatory experiences.
Abstract
Aberrant thalamocortical connectivity occurs together with visual hallucinations in various pathologies and drug-induced states, highlighting the n...
