Using rare brain recordings from patients, scientists found that the thalamus helps trigger visual awareness. The study ...

A newly identified brain circuit in mice may explain why we sleep longer and deeper after being sleep deprived – and lead to ...

Recent research led by Mark Wu , Professor of Neurology at John Hopkins University, has potentially identified the area in ...

Sleeping deeply into the afternoon after an all-nighter or a late night out is one way the body repays its sleep debt. The ...

How do animals bounce back from sleep deprivation? Scientists found a subset of neurons in the mouse thalamus that repay this ...

When 64-year-old MBK Nair first noticed a subtle tremor in his right hand in 2020, he brushed it off as fatigue or muscle ...

A rho value of zero indicated that a thalamic nucleus had no preference and equally coupled to cortical parcels with focal and diffuse thalamic connections. To test for differences between ...

Within the hypothalamus lies the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which regulates sleep and wake cycles. During the light cycle, a series of mechanisms originating from retinal ganglionic cells to ...

Background: The subthalamic nucleus is the preferred target for deep brain stimulation in patients with advanced Parkinson’s disease. The site of permanent stimulation is the subject of ongoing debate ...

The distribution of these decreases follows the topography of connectivity between the thalamus and cortical areas; lesions in the medial nucleus of the thalamus are associated with decreased flow in ...
