In a study published in Science today, Mingsha Zhang, a neuroscientist at Beijing Normal University, focused on the thalamus.

Thalamic regions drive conscious perception by syncing with the prefrontal cortex, acting as a gateway to awareness. Using ...

A new study using intracranial recordings in humans reveals that the thalamus, particularly its higher-order regions, plays a ...

By analyzing the brain activity of epileptic patients, researchers have identified the key role of Heschl's gyrus, in the ...

A research team led by Prof. WU Qingfeng at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences demonstrated the conserved cellular development and evolutionary ...

Using direct, intracranial brain recordings in humans, a new study finds that the thalamus, a small region located deep within the brain, plays a pivotal role in conscious perception. According to the ...

The Victorian palaeontologist Richard Owen incorrectly argued that the human brain was the only brain to contain a small area ...

In the normal mature brain, numerous neural circuits, mostly closed loop, connect a spectrum of motor and nonmotor regions of the cerebral cortex with the cerebellum. Development and consolidation ...

Neurons from discrete neocortical areas send axons near and far to numerous subcortical and cortical targets. The great diversity of neocortical neurons allows some neuron subtypes to specialize in ...
