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 ...

No significant differences in neuroimaging findings were identified between patients who had minor hallucinations/illusions alone and patients who also had visual hallucinations. Conclusions Our ...

"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 ...

In 2024, Alexander Freund wrote that new research showed for the first time how dyslexia was linked to the visual thalamus, a brain region important for emotion, memory, and language among other ...

Jan. 15, 2025 — A research team identified the brain's food-specific memory system and its direct role in overeating and diet-induced obesity. They found a specific population of neurons in the ...

Sleep deprivation affects the brain's memory control, with REM sleep essential for effective suppression of intrusive ...

Scientists have taken a major step in understanding how animal brains make decisions, revealing a crucial role for electrical synapses in 'filtering' sensory information. The new research demonstrates ...

We found changes in GFP fluorescence in response to locomotion and visual stimuli of a magnitude comparable to that measured with common activity sensors like GCaMP and GRAB variants. GFP signals were ...

She would be placed into an MRI machine where a groundbreaking technique delivers precisely focused ultrasound waves to a specific brain region called the Thalamus to interrupt pain signals.
