Consciousness is controlled by complicated actions of various neural structures (Schiff, 2010; Long et al., 2016). The thalamocortical connections between the central thalamus and cerebral cortex are considered an important neural struc-ture for consciousness (Laureys et al., 2000; Schiff, 2010; Jang and Lee, 2015). Here, we report a patient who revealed increased thalamocortical connectivity from the affected thalamus to the unaffected hemisphere through interthalamic adhesion.
