My active collaboration with Ray Guillery started in 1968, when he was a Full Professor at the University of Wisconsin and I was a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania. The collaboration lasted almost 50 years with virtually no breaks. Among the ideas we proposed are that glutamatergic pathways in thalamus and cortex can be classified into drivers and modulators; that many thalamic nuclei could be classified as higher order, meaning that they receive driving input from layer 5 of cortex and participate in cortico-thalamocortical circuits; and that much of the information relayed by thalamus serves as an efference copy for motor commands initiated by cortex.
我与雷·吉列（Ray Guillery）的积极合作始于 1968 年，当时他是威斯康星大学的正教授，而我是宾夕法尼亚大学的研究生。这种合作持续了近 50 年，几乎没有间断。我们提出的想法包括：丘脑和皮层中的谷氨酸能通路可以分为驱动和调制；许多丘脑核可以被归类为高级别的，这意味着它们接收来自皮层第 5 层的驱动输入，并参与皮质-丘脑-皮质回路；而由丘脑传递的大部分信息作为由皮层发起的运动指令的传出副本。
