A late-maturing brain filter in the thalamus prunes noisy sensory inputs over time, helping adults ignore distractions and ...

TORTICOLLIS is an involuntary movement disorder resulting in tonic abnormal deviation of the head and neck. It is often accompanied by hyperkinesis of the head and neck, consisting of arrhythmic ...

Thalamic inputs of cells in sensory cortices are outnumbered by local connections. Thus, it was suggested that robust sensory response in layer 4 emerges due to synchronized thalamic activity. To ...

A peer-reviewed paper published in Frontiers in Psychology proposes that consciousness is not simply a byproduct of brain activity but instead acts as a top-down force that shapes neural processes.

The visual thalamus is classically known to relay visual stimuli coming from the retina to the cerebral cortex. Researchers now show that although neurons in the mouse visual thalamus connect to both ...

A growing body of research is converging on specific brain regions and networks that appear to generate conscious experience, from dreaming to waking awareness. Multiple independent lines of evidence ...

One powerful type of transformation comes from interactions between excitatory neurons that carry data to the neocortex and inhibitory neurons of the thalamic reticular nucleus, or TRN, that regulate ...

In a study conducted at the University of Turku, Finland, the neural mechanisms of different anesthetics were investigated using functional brain imaging. Disconnection from external world and events ...

Thalamic atrophy needs to be considered in clinical studies of the functional abilities of individuals with multiple sclerosis, according to findings reported by a team of experts. The article, ...

The ability to distinguish between different individuals is crucial for social interactions. Previous research has shown the pivotal role of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in social processes, as ...

The next-generation RET inhibitor TPX-0046 is active in drug-resistant and naïve RET-driven cancer models. BET inhibitor molibresib for the treatment of advanced solid tumors: Final results from an ...
