Direct brain recordings reveal that the thalamus, especially its intralaminar and medial nuclei, actively shapes conscious ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of ...

In a study published in Science today, Mingsha Zhang, a neuroscientist at Beijing Normal University, focused on the thalamus. This region at the centre of the brain is involved in processing ...

This enigmatic process appears to be controlled by the thalamus, a central region of the brain already known for its function as a filter between sensory signals and the cerebral cortex ...

The experience made Chen curious to learn more about the thalamus. Located deep in the brain, the thalamus is the brain’s central relay hub, receiving information from the outside world and ...

The 3D brain map includes more than 200,000 cells, 523 million synapses and over two miles of axons, representing the most ...

In a study published in Science today 1, Mingsha Zhang, a neuroscientist at Beijing Normal University, focused on the thalamus. This region at the centre of the brain is involved in processing ...

Their findings enhance understanding of how the brain forms conscious experience, offering new empirical support for theories that assign a central role to thalamic structures rather than cortical ...

SEATTLE, WASH. — From a tiny sample of tissue no larger than a grain of sand, scientists have come within reach of a goal once thought unattainable: building a complete functional wiring diagram of a ...

Researchers say they have mapped more than 200,000 cells in a cubic millimeter of brain tissue and have traced how they're ...

Neuroscientists have produced the largest wiring diagram and functional map of a mammalian brain to date using tissue from a ...
