Researchers investigating how exactly the brain processes the incoming stream of information from the heart and lungs, discovered that specific neurons in the thalamus are actively involved in ...

Bipolar disorder can feel like a storm that erupts from nowhere, yet for decades the brain circuitry driving those brutal mood swings has remained frustratingly vague. Now, converging lines of ...

Researchers have demonstrated how paraventricular thalamic nucleus neurons play a role in bipolar disorder pathology and highlighted their potential as a promising diagnostic and therapeutic target.

It is generally believed that the adaptability of the adult brain mainly takes place in the cortex. However, a new study from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience shows that the thalamus, a ...

Stanford Medicine scientists investigating the neurological basis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have found that hyperactivity in a specific brain region could drive behaviors commonly associated ...

In a recent study published in Nature Medicine, a group of researchers evaluated the safety and efficacy of deep brain stimulation in the central lateral (CL) nucleus of the thalamus and medial dorsal ...

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic mental health condition characterized by recurrent episodes of depression and mania. It poses a substantial burden on global health, with an increasing incidence.

A late-maturing brain filter in the thalamus prunes noisy sensory inputs over time, helping adults ignore distractions and ...

Locating the centromedian nucleus (CM) for deep brain stimulation (DBS) is challenging with standard imaging. This review highlights advanced methods—high-resolution MRI, intraoperative ...
