A young brain has much to learn – including how it should interpret information from both eyes and collate it into a meaningful image of the environment. Hence, the cells in the visual cortex ...
It is generally believed that the adaptability of the adult brain mainly takes place in the cortex. However, a new study from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience shows that the thalamus, a ...
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 student's theory about the thalamus, hallucinations, and sensory overload has sparked millions of views online.
Years ago, as a neurology resident, Chinfei Chen, MD, PhD, cared for a 20-year-old woman who had experienced a very small stroke, affecting only the thalamus. "It was so tiny that she wouldn't have ...

Scientists just caught molecular 'timers' firing in sequence to decide which moments the brain locks in and which it lets slip away
A mouse learns to associate a sound with a mild shock, and within seconds the experience is encoded. But whether that memory ...
Morning Overview on MSN
Scientists just identified sequentially operating molecular 'timers' that decide what the brain stores as a memory and what it lets slip away
Every day, your brain is flooded with experiences, yet only a fraction survive past the next morning. A new study published ...
Researchers have identified a circuit in the anterior thalamus that is necessary for remembering how to navigate a maze. This region could offer a promising target for treatments that could help ...
