Successful detection of a visual stimulus correlates with several neural phenomena: (1) the stimulus being presented at the optimal, low-frequency phase of ongoing medial prefrontal activity (mPFC in purple; hits in red; misses in grey), (2) the stimulus being presented at the optimal, low-frequency phase of ongoing mediodorsal thalamic activity (mediodorsal thalamus in aqua; hits in red; misses in purple), and (3) directed prefrontal-to-thalamic low-frequency connectivity (hits in red; misses [which displayed undirected connectivity] in grey]). Critically, the contribution of the prefrontal cortex to visual detection appears to be mediated by the mediodorsal thalamus.
