Emotional slow negative potential shift (CNV) in the thalamus

In order to know the functional relationship between CNV recorded at the vertex and activity of the thalamic nucleus, the CNV at the vertex and the intrathalamic slow potentials responding to an S1-S2-R paradigm were recorded during thalamotomy under local anesthesia. It might be concluded that the activity of the medial thalamus and medial parts of the subthalamic area not only generate slow potential shifts corresponding to S1-S2-R, but also play an important role in controlling the CNV at the vertex.
