New research published in The Journal of Neuroscience reveals that basic sound processing remains active in the brainstem ...

The idea that the wakefulness pathway runs from the brainstem to thalamus to cortex came from influential studies done in the 1940s-50s that correctly identified the brainstem as a critical area ...

Because the brainstem evidence was so strong, the assumption was that the thalamus evidence was strong, too. Despite a lack of concrete evidence, this pathway subsequently became textbook ...

Multiple Brainstem and Cerebellar Infarctions: Diffusion-weighted MRIs. Note the bright signal indicating acute infarctions in numerous areas: bilateral cerebellar, pons, right thalamus, and right ...

You know that can happen because, for example, when people have seizures in the temporal lobe, which is not in the brainstem or the thalamus, that can switch off the brainstem and thalamus and cause ...

Co-lead author Shijia Liu, a graduate student from Han’s lab said, “Based on these two pools of research, we proposed that CGRP neurons, found especially in subregions of the thalamus and the ...
