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

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

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

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

Despite being the brain’s central relay hub, the thalamus has been underexplored. New work shows that the thalamus can update its own connections, independently of the cortex.

The important manuscript presents convincing evidence of temporal correlations during specific oscillatory activity between the prefrontal cortex, thalamic nucleus reuniens, and the hippocampus, in ...

The study demonstrated that DBS of the CL nucleus of the thalamus and the associated medial CL/DTTm tract significantly improved executive function and processing speed in patients with msTBI.

Jerzy Szaflarski, M.D., Ph.D., professor in the UAB Department of Neurology and epilepsy division director, explains the rationale behind targeting the anterior thalamic nucleus saying, "The path of ...

Each of the brain’s hemispheres contains a caudate nucleus. Located near the thalamus, they control functions including movement and communication.

The dorsal thalamus, ... Aside from olfaction, in all sensory processing, a sensory signal is received by a thalamic nucleus and then directed to the relevant cortical area.

They conducted a retrospective study of 83 individuals (mean age, 62.7 years; 69.8% men) who underwent subthalamic nucleus stimulation in the University of Michigan Surgical Therapies Improving ...

The thalamus is involved in not only primary sensory functions, such as seeing and smelling, but also various complex functions that activate multiple brain regions simultaneously, like ...
