Recent functional imaging, neuropsychological and electrophysiological studies on adults have provided evidence for a fast, low-spatial-frequency (LSF), subcortical face-detection pathway that ...

A Yale-led study shows that the senses stimulate a region of the brain that controls consciousness—a finding that might inform treatment for disorders related to attention, arousal, and more.

Injury to the subcortical structures of the inner brain is a major contributor to worsening neurological abnormalities after "awake craniotomy" for brain tumors, a new study reports. Injury to the ...

Our new research, published in Nature Neuroscience, unveils a new brain atlas of the human subcortex, revealing an astoundingly complex hierarchical structure and 27 new subcortical regions.

Objectives/methods Using a specially designed functional MRI (fMRI) cycling ergometer, we have determined the sequence in which the cortical and subcortical brain regions are modulated at low and high ...

The children who were living below the poverty level as preschoolers had smaller volumes of certain subcortical brain regions, including the hippocampus, caudate, putamen, and thalamus.

We performed Cox proportional-hazards and multiple linear-regression analyses, adjusted for age, sex, and level of education and for the presence or absence of subcortical atrophy and white-matter ...

Combining mathematical algorithms with anatomical imaging allows non-invasive measurement of activity in the deepest part of the brain. (Courtesy: ©UNIGE) Subcortical brain structures such as the ...

Subcortical vascular dementia is thought to be the most common type of vascular dementia. It is caused by diseases of the very small blood vessels that lie deep in the brain (known as ‘small vessel ...

In a recent paper, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers involved in this collaboration presented a detailed map of the development of subcortical brain regions in infancy and early childhood.

Those theories, as we saw, hold that there are core emotions that are basically hardwired and innate, produced by subcortical brain circuits. Basic emotions theory considers those core emotions to ...
