Subcortical structures, including high-order thalamic nuclei, remain comparatively unexplored, ill-accounting for how rapidly shifting sensory information becomes part of conscious experience.

A multidisciplinary study led by BCBL, a Basque research centre, opens the door to the investigation of the structure and functions of human thalamic nuclei and their involvement in Alzheimer's ...

Feng et al. discovered that the intralaminar and medial thalamic nuclei exhibited earlier and stronger consciousness-related neural activity compared to the ventral nuclei and PFC. Notably ...

The only sensory information that is not relayed by the thalamus into the cerebral cortex is information related to smell (olfaction). Sensory relay nuclei - These include the ventral posterior ...

Disconnection from external world and events ("sleeping") was specifically related to reduced activity in the central thalamic nuclei in subjects who received propofol, dexmedetomidine or ...

A cryogenic freezing lesion was surgically inflicted in the ventroposterolateral, ventroposteromedial and lateral portions of the centrum medianum nuclei of the left thalamus on December 27.

These thalamic nuclei have been identified using a combination of functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging. They are involved in processing memory and hearing among other things.

To determine if abnormalities of thalamic nuclei volumes could be identified in a large sample of migraine patients with aura specifically, researchers analyzed MRI data from 311 individuals.

A multidisciplinary study led by BCBL, a Basque research center, opens the door to the investigation of the structure and functions of human thalamic nuclei and their involvement in Alzheimer's ...
