Thalamic inputs of cells in sensory cortices are outnumbered by local connections. Thus, it was suggested that robust sensory response in layer 4 emerges due to synchronized thalamic activity. To ...

The pathophysiology of migraine with aura in women does not involve alteration of thalamic volume, according to a study published in NeuroImage: Clinical. Migraine with aura presents as attacks of ...

Greater non-motor symptom burden may be associated with thalamic atrophy in Parkinson disease (PD), suggesting that the thalamus has a significant role in processing sensory information including ...

April 29, 2010 — Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) maps of the thalamic surface of youth with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) show marked ...

TORTICOLLIS is an involuntary movement disorder resulting in tonic abnormal deviation of the head and neck. It is often accompanied by hyperkinesis of the head and neck, consisting of arrhythmic ...

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 ...

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 ...
