This study presents a potentially valuable exploration of the role of thalamic nuclei in language processing. The results will be of interest to researchers interested in the neurobiology of language.

The cortex is at the apex of information processing in the mammalian brain. Interestingly, however, beside olfactory inputs, no fast, precise information reaches the cortex without a thalamic transfer ...

In a study conducted at the University of Turku, Finland, the neural mechanisms of different anesthetics were investigated using functional brain imaging. Disconnection from external world and events ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Medicine, researchers evaluated the effectiveness and safety of deep brain stimulation (DBS) within the central lateral (CL) thalamic nuclei and the ...

The brain modulates visual signals according to internal states, as a new study by LMU neuroscientist Laura Busse reveals. What we see is not simply just a neural representation of the pattern of ...

Recent analysis of human brain tissue suggests that a small and often overlooked region deep within the brain may play a central role in bipolar disorder. Researchers found that neurons in the ...
