A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs ...

Aerobic exercise has the potential to restore function in adults with multiple sclerosis (MS) and thalamic atrophy — a patient population at increased risk for progressive physical and cognitive ...

A recent study from Simon Fraser University researchers has revealed how an overlooked type of indirect brain damage contributes to ongoing disability after a stroke. The paper, published in ...

Every day, we constantly absorb information through our sensory organs, which the brain then needs to process correctly. The information initially reaches the thalamus and then travels to the cerebral ...

While localizing sensory and motor deficits is one of the cornerstones of clinical neurology, behavioral and cognitive deficits in psychiatry remain impervious to this approach. In psychiatry, major ...

The TRN is a thin sheet of exclusively GABA-producing neurons located between the cortex and dorsal thalamus 1,2. The TRN integrates both cortical and thalamic synaptic inputs but sends outputs only ...

As people age, their working memory often declines, making it more difficult to perform everyday tasks. One key brain region linked to this type of memory is the anterior thalamus, which is primarily ...

MIT researchers recently published a study in Brain Sciences that sheds light on neurocognitive functioning. In particular, the findings could have positive implications for treating memory decline.

This news release is available in German. Every day, we constantly absorb information through our sensory organs, which the brain then needs to process correctly. The information initially reaches the ...
