When you see something—a tree in your backyard, say, or the toy your toddler hands you—that visual information travels from your retinas to your brain. And like a train stopping at stations along its ...
Researchers identify key rules for how visual cortex neurons organize thousands of synaptic inputs based on distance and clustering.
Hibernation causes rapid, reversible structural changes in squirrel neurons, offering new avenues for human stroke recovery.
Beijing Normal University-led researchers have identified specific high-order thalamic nuclei that drive human conscious perception by activating the prefrontal cortex. Their findings enhance ...
Recent research has found that the thalamus may act like a “relay station” for consciousness by modulating cortical activity in the brain. Researchers found “thalamocortical loops,” where information ...
A wireless intracortical architecture targets total blindness by circumventing nonfunctional retinas and optic nerves, ...
SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Scientists from UC San Diego have published a study in the journal Nature detailing how brain wiring changes while learning. The study's findings are supported by the National ...

More than a simple relay station: Thalamus may guide timing of brain development and plasticity
The brain is known to develop gradually throughout the human lifespan, following a hierarchical pattern. First, it adapts to support basic functions, such as movement and sensory perception, then it ...
