Beijing Normal University-led researchers have identified specific high-order thalamic nuclei that drive human conscious ...

In the first comprehensive, cell-by-cell analysis of brain tissue from individuals with Tourette syndrome, researchers have pinpointed exactly which cells are perturbed and how they malfunction, ...

Thalamic regions drive conscious perception by syncing with the prefrontal cortex, acting as a gateway to awareness. Using ...

Using direct, intracranial brain recordings in humans, a new study finds that the thalamus, a small region located deep within the brain, plays a pivotal role in conscious perception. According to the ...

A new study using intracranial recordings in humans reveals that the thalamus, particularly its higher-order regions, plays a ...

In zebrafish it is no different, and the "crystalline" order of cells appears to be a result of the jamming of nuclei as the eye develops. Beyond the eye, the team also found that brain tissues ...

Using direct, intracranial brain recordings in humans, a new study finds that the thalamus, a small region located deep within the brain, plays a ...

New insights have emerged into how the human brain develops. Two genes that are unique to humans work together to influence ...

There are projections from the ARC to other hypothalamic nuclei, as well as the cerebral cortex and reward pathways. Multiple neuropeptides have been identified that appear to modulate pathways ...
