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 ...

The original AI-powered code completion tool stemming from early OpenAI technology, GitHub Copilot, now comes in a free tier for the Visual Studio IDE and Visual Studio Code, along with other editors.

One study showed visual signals are selectively targeted or broadly broadcast, challenging the idea of a simple, linear flow of visual input. A second study revealed that the thalamus adapts visual ...

Brian Keane, PhD, assistant professor of Psychiatry, Center for Visual Science ... to each other and more strongly connected to the thalamus, the brain's information relay station.

The fact that there is a developmental starting condition that can induce a synaptically segregated microcircuit has important implications for our understanding of the organization of visual circuits ...

After that participants underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. We focused on 2-dimensional measurements of cerebellum, pons and thalamus. Statistical analysis was done in SPSS ...

To quantify the impact of thalamic drive on cortical activity and alpha oscillations — first without stimulation — we calculated both cortical and sub-cortical firing rates, and the power of ...
