 s ‘thalamic control of cortex’ presented by Guillaume Hennequin and Fl
 avia Mancini.\n\nThe thalamus has long been regarded as a mere relay stati
 on for sensory afferents\, with relay to cortex possibly modulated by top-
 down cortical inputs. However\, a new view is emerging\, backed by experim
 ents e.g. in the Halassa group\, according to which the thalamus entrains 
 with the cortex in order to regulate cortical dynamics\, thus supporting c
 ognitive flexibility. We will give a brief introduction to the thalamus\, 
 and review some of this recent literature with an attempt to connect it to
  a few existing models of cortical modulation.\n\nSome relevant refs:\n- h
