I’m making this blog post to let you know that I just added a page Claustrum Function onto my website https://christseed.com/. Please click on the link to check it out. This is a work in progress. More pages to come in the upcoming days on this topic. For your convenience, a portion of that page is below.

Additionally, I have modified some server settings. So, everything should go a little more smoothly. The site still needs a lot of work. I will continue to make improvements.

Below is a sneak peak, a preliminary, unformatted view of this page. Again, please click on the link Claustrum Function to see this page and look for other pages soon as I add pages into this section.

Claustrum Function

The claustrum’s function is obscure. Our existing knowledge is insufficient for understanding how the claustrum functions. Neuroscientists speculate that the claustrum may play the primary role in consciousness. So far, scholars who speculate on the neuronal basis of consciousness attribute to the cortical pyramidal neurons the role of synthesizing neural stimuli into consciousness. A key feature of almost all neuronal theories of consciousness is the imperative for interactions among groups of widely dispersed pyramidal neurons that continuously express themselves in the ongoing stream of conscious percepts, images and thoughts.

Objects or events in the real world have many simultaneous attributes: color, shape, distance, velocity, smell, sound, feel, etc. If both claustra are absent, these attributes may not be experienced in an integrated manner, so the person may fail to perceive some objects or events or only be consciously aware of some isolated attribute. This suggests that the claustrum may play a role in synthesizing neural stimuli into consciousness.

The clausturm appears to have a relatively uniform architecture. A striking feature of the claustrum is the few neuronal types that it has when compared with those of the cerebral cortex. What then is the nature of the work performed by claustral neurons? The homogenous cell structure and architecture of the claustrum conveys a predisposition that the claustral neurons could be especially sensitive to the timing of the inputs, cementing the role of the claustrum in binding disparate events into a single percept, experienced at one point in time. This dynamic is critical for the synthesis of neural stimuli into consciousness.

A striking feature of the claustrum is the few types of neurons it has compared with those of the cerebral cortex.

Neuronal cell types in the human claustrum. (a) The dominant cell type (type I). They receive input from cortex and also send their axons back there. Their dendrites are covered with spines. (b), (c) At least two types of neurons have been identified whose dendrites are devoid of spines. Their axons stay within the claustrum.
