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 ...

Thalamus regulates adaptability of the adult brain Date: October 6, 2023 Source: Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience - KNAW Summary: It is generally believed that the adaptability of the adult ...

The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals ...

New research reveals this inconsistency may be due to a feedback loop between the thalamus and somatosensory cortex, where thalamic input subtly changes how sensitive cortical neurons are to incoming ...

UNIGE researchers have identified a feedback loop from the thalamus to the somatosensory cortex that modulates touch ...

When they combine data from fMRI and EEG, researchers discover that activity deep inside the brain, in the thalamus, varies during wakefulness in step with activity in the default mode network.

Two new studies show that the thalamus -- the small central brain structure often characterized as a mere pit-stop for sensory information on its way to the cortex -- is heavily involved in ...

The cerebellum, or “little brain,” is tucked underneath the cerebrum at the back of the head. It regulates balance and learned movements, such as walking and fastening buttons, but cannot ...

Each participant in the study already had up to 20 electrodes implanted in different parts of the thalamus and cortex as part of an experimental procedure to dampen their headache pain. Unlike fMRI ...
