The study suggests that targeted brain stimulation could help bridge this gap. Academic learning has profound implications ...

A thalamic nucleus plays a previously unappreciated role in behavioral arousal and learning through its innervation of the dorsal striatum.

Ever heard of a tiny muscle of the lower leg called the posterior tibialis? Here’s what to know about this important stabilizer, including best exercises.

Though the sense of touch underlies how we and most other animals interact with the world around us, much remains unknown about how this sense is processed in the brain.

Though the sense of touch underlies how we and most other animals interact with the world around us, much remains unknown about how this sense is processed in the brain. Researchers from Heidelberg ...

Interpretation PD hallucinators show white matter loss particularly in posterior connections and in thalamic nuclei, over time with relatively preserved cortical thickness. The right medial ...

Yonk and colleagues show that the posterior medial thalamus (POm), which is interconnected with sensory and motor systems, projects directly to major categories of neurons in the striatum, including ...

1 Introduction The posterior intralaminar nucleus (PIL) and peripeduncular nucleus (PP) of the posterior thalamus are located ventromedial to the medial geniculate nuclear complex (MG), which usually ...

The thalamus is a complex structure with several subcomponents, each having different functions depending on their connections to specific cortex. 14 Studies considering the different thalamic ...

To address this, we constructed 3-dimensional vascular maps of the thalamus. Fifty-six thalamic strokes were mapped to the 4 established vascular territories: 17 medial (paramedian artery), 8 anterior ...

Most importantly, the anterior thalamus encoded nostalgia, and the posterior parietal thalamus encoded pain perception. Anterior thalamic activation can predict posterior parietal thalamus activation.
