It is generally believed that the adaptability of the adult brain mainly takes place in the cortex. However, a new study shows that the thalamus, a relay station for incoming motor and sensory ...

Researchers have revealed how an overlooked type of indirect brain damage contributes to ongoing disability after a stroke. The paper shows how the thalamus -- a sort of central networking hub that ...

A recent study from Simon Fraser University researchers has revealed how an overlooked type of indirect brain damage contributes to ongoing disability after a stroke. The paper, published in ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the central lateral nucleus of the thalamus led to cognitive improvements in people with long-term deficits due to traumatic brain injury (TBI), a pilot study showed.

Researchers identify that the brain's sensory checkpoint (TRN) undergoes a molecular "upgrade" in adulthood for high-resolution perception.

Researchers used AI and deep learning to find a link between brain structure and navigation skills but found no measurable ...
