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 ...

A new study published in Science has identified the thalamus as a central player in how humans become consciously aware of ...

The visual thalamus is the first waystation on the way to the cerebral cortex, and this processing pathway is, among other things, responsible for the perception and analysis of form and for ...

Neurons in the visual thalamus tend to be picky as they functionally connect and respond to information from only one eye, despite their contact with both eyes, as per a study at the Max Planck ...

Einstein had dyslexia. Hemmingway had it, too. It can affect people their whole lives. New findings may lead to a fresh ...

“The electrical activity in the visual thalamus is coupled with the pupil dynamics over timeframes ranging from seconds to several minutes.” This modulation of neural activity patterns during arousal ...

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.
