Its anatomy is quite remarkable in that it receives input from almost all regions of cortex and projects back to almost all regions of cortex. We here briefly summarize what is known about the claustrum, speculate on ...
متن کاملThe Claustrum and Alzheimer’s Disease

Disconnection and degeneration of this structure might then contribute to cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms including those appearing in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). That the claustrum is important for at least some elements of the neuropsychologica...
