This study demonstrates neuronal striatal–thalamic connectivity modulated by direct stimulating the central thalamus in rats. Our results indicate that the CT-DBS modulate the neuronal activity in bilateral anterior cingulate cortex, caudate-putamen and somatosensory cortex and increases in functional connectivity between the striatum and parafascicular thalamic nucleus, hippocampus and primary motor cortex to shorten the cognitive related behavior task. CT-DBS fMRI has potential to explore functional connectivity in the brain and monitor functional plasticity changes in a specific neuroanatomical pathway in vivo.
