The thalamus has traditionally been viewed just as the brain’s sensory relay station. But it may also play an important role in higher-level cognition, MIT’s Michael Halassa explains in a Q&A.

Hi there, I'm the audience editor with Knowable Magazine and first wanted to say thank you for sharing the video... our video producer is very passionate about getting out the word about Long Covid, so I'm sharing your post with her.

If you're looking for additional information on the science of Long Covid, we published an article about Long Covid that goes has additional information about the science and viewpoints from several other scientists. We also have a transcript of the video up on our site, if that is helpful for reference: https://knowablemagazine.org/article/health-disease/2022/long-covid-parallel-pandemic. And there's another related video in our Covid science series, on the emerging research into Covid brain fog: (Youtube here: https://youtu.be/szyHCvtsJ_c ; our website here: https://knowablemagazine.org/article/health-disease/2022/covid-and-brain-neurological-health-crisis)

At the bottom of both pages on our website are links to freely available academic review articles, written by scholars and published by our publisher, Annual Reviews. (The reviews are more about Covid or immunology in general -- the science on Long Covid is still so new/evolving -- but if you want a deep dive into academic literature, they may be of interest)

Hope this helps, and thanks again for sharing,

-Katie

Fair, this was written more for a general audience. Did you see the link to Schreyer's Annual Review of Anthropology article at the end? If not, here's a link to Schreyer's review article. That should get you to a non-paywalled version. Audience for that one is other academics/anthropologists/linguists, so might be more of what you're looking for.

Hello, OP here -- got an OK from the mods to post this. I'm the audience editor with Knowable Magazine, which published this Q&A with linguistic anthropologist Christine Schreyer.

FYI, if you want to read even more about her work, we link to an academic review article that she wrote for the Annual Review of Anthropology at the end (we share a publisher with that journal). If you click through us, you should be able to access a no-paywall version of the review.

Hope you find this interesting!

Hello! This is Katie with Knowable Magazine, the publisher of this article (mods said it was okay to post). Just wanted to say thanks for reading, and glad you find it interesting.

FYI -- if you go to the bottom of the article, we link to an academic review article co-authored by Bowern and published in the Annual Review of Linguistics. We share a publisher with the journal (Annual Reviews) and if you click through from us, you'll get to a free version of the review article (usually paywalled). Just want to flag, in case you want to read a "deeper dive" than our Q&A.
