“…In a recent review, Goll et al (2015) proposed that the claustrum serves the function of segregating attention between modalities, implicating the claustrum as a hub for attention. They propose that "the claustrum serves the function of segregating attention between modalities, enabling us to isolate objects of current priority for attention" (Goll et al, 2015).…”

“…They propose that "the claustrum serves the function of segregating attention between modalities, enabling us to isolate objects of current priority for attention" (Goll et al, 2015). They draw certain parallels between the claustrum and the thalamus, proposing that both the thalamus and the claustrum have the capacity to focus attention, but at different stages of sensory processing.…”

“…As we have alluded to already, and perhaps understandably given the elaborate claustral connectome, the possible functions of the claustrum have received considerable attention, with many hypotheses posed (Goll et al, 2015;Mathur, 2014;Remedios et al, 2010Remedios et al, , 2014Smythies et al, 2012b). Most recently, two related articles (Smythies et al, 2012a;Yin et al, 2016) suggest that complex connectivity and organisation of the claustrum is Like cortico-thalamic inputs, cortico-claustral inputs are predominantly derived from cortical layer 6, while claustro-cortical inputs are predominantly to cortical layer 4, suggesting that they may comprise a driver input rather than a modulatory one.…”

The claustrum is a highly conserved but enigmatic structure, with connections to the entire cortical mantle, as well as to an extended and extensive range of heterogeneous subcortical structures. Indeed, the human claustrum is thought to have the highest number of connections per millimetre cubed of any other brain region. While there have been relatively few functional investigations of the claustrum, many theoretical suggestions have been put forward, including speculation that it plays a key role in the generation of consciousness in the mammalian brain. Other claims have been more circumspect, suggesting that the claustrum has a particular role in, for example, orchestrating cortical activity, spatial information processing or decision making. Here, we selectively review certain key recent anatomical, electrophysiological and behavioural experimental advances in claustral research and present evidence that calls for a reassessment of its anatomical boundaries in the rodent. We conclude with some open questions for future research.

“…It is often viewed as a multisensory integration center, integrating percepts from different parts of the brain (Crick and Koch, 2005; Goll et al, 2015). High degree of convergence in claustrum allows it to serve as a “coincidence detector”, detecting synchrony of oscillations in brain areas, which enables its role in interval timing (Smythies et al, 2012, 2014).…”

The grounding of temporal metaphors

Grounded cognition suggests that the processing of conceptual knowledge cued by language relies on the sensory-motor regions. Does temporal language similarly engage brain areas involved in time perception? Participants read sentences that describe the temporal extent of events with motion verbs (Her seminar stretches across the afternoon) and their static controls. Comparison conditions were fictive motion (Her backyard stretches across the desert) and literal motion (Her arm stretches across the table), along with their static controls. Several time sensitive locations, identified using a meta-analysis, showed activation specific to temporal metaphors, including in the left insula, right claustrum, and bilateral posterior superior temporal sulci. Fictive and literal motion contrasts did not show this difference. Fictive motion contrast showed activation in a conceptual motion sensitive area of the left posterior inferior temporal sulcus. These data suggest that language of time is at least partially grounded in experiential time. In addition, motion semantics has different consequences for events and objects: temporal events become animate, while static entities become motional.
