When people instinctively begin rubbing their temples to ease a headache or cradle an elbow after bumping it, they engage in a deeply rooted biological behavior. This simple act of touch-based ...
Orexin, one of the two signals the researchers studied, originates in neurons (green) in the brain’s hypothalamus (left) that connect with a part of the thalamus called the pPVT (right). LA JOLLA, ...
ABSTRACT: Introduction: Simultaneous bithalamic infarction is rare and is typically related to occlusion of a common trunk supplying both paramedian thalamic arteries, known as the artery of Percheron ...
Background Central neuropathic poststroke pain (CNPSP) affects up to 12% of patients with stroke in general and up to 18% of patients with sensory deficits. This pain syndrome is often incapacitating ...
Objective: To explore atrophy patterns in thalamic nuclei at different phases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and determine any correlations between thalamic nucleus volume and either cognitive ...
The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is essential for social behavior, and its dysfunction is implicated in social interaction deficits in autism. Pyramidal neuron activity in the ACC is modulated by ...
This important study identifies one way in which episodic heat exposure can result in negative changes in motivated and affective behaviors. This work positively expands the field of thermoregulation.
Summary: Touch is a vital sense, yet the brain processes active and passive touch using distinct pathways. In mice, researchers found that different regions of the thalamus—the brain’s sensory ...
Newborn brain scans reveal how autism-related genetic variants influence early neural wiring, offering fresh insights into the origins of neurodevelopmental differences. Research: Autism common ...
Revised: This Reviewed Preprint has been revised by the authors in response to the previous round of peer review; the eLife assessment and the public reviews have been updated where necessary by the ...
Summary: Researchers have identified two neural circuits in the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) that are critical for spatial navigation and memory storage. The M2-projecting pathway links spatial thought ...
