<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">There is more and more evidence that the main visual extrageniculate thalamus nucleus, the pulvinar, plays a multifaceted role in vision and that disrupted functional circuits between
pulvinar and cortex contribute to the pathophysiological mechanisms of psychiatric disorders. In this Special Issue on “Role of the Pulvinar in Visual Processing”, we will cover major advances in pulvinar research over the past five years, with a mixture of
original and review articles. The subjects may include the following:</span><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-fareast-language:FR-CA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
