Dentate nucleus neurons can dynamically modulate their activity during a visual attention task, comprising not only sensorimotor but also cognitive attentional components.

The striate cortex is the first cortical visual area that receives input from the lateral geniculate nucleus in the thalamus. How animals generate perceptual decisions remains poorly understood.

A recent study in the journal Cell Reports Medicine 00549-4)has highlighted a brain network involved in cognitive challenges ...

"Our findings suggest that indirect damage to the thalamus plays an important and under-explored role in the abnormal brain activity and long-term disability that often follow stroke," says ...
