The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...

Most thalamic research has focused on sensory transmission. Now three independent groups reveal the thalamus to be critical in behaviors linked to frontal cortex and the maintenance of persistent ...

The thalamus is "a key structure of the cortico-striata-thalamic-cortical pathways," first study author Iliyan Ivanov, MD, of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Mount Sinai School of ...

Thalamic Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Axial CT scan. Note the large hemorrhage in the region of the right thalamus. This is one of the common sites of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Early ...

Researchers now report that the somatosensory part of the thalamic reticular nucleus is divided into two functionally distinct sub-circuits that have their own types of genetically defined neurons ...

The authors meticulously mapped every thalamic synapse on 15 neurons in layer 2/3 of the visual cortex in mice and modeled how the input affected each neuron’s ability to process visual information.

Adolescent thalamic inhibition leads to long-lasting impairments in prefrontal cortex function. Nature Neuroscience, 2022; DOI: 10.1038/s41593-022-01072-y ...

Brain researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have detailed temporary reductions in gray matter following prolonged ...
