The thalamus acts as an interface between the periphery and the cortex, with nearly every sensory modality processing information in the thalamocortical circuit. Despite well-established thalamic ...

The thalamus is a brain area that is located between the cerebral cortex and midbrain, and surrounds the third ventricle. The thalamus has an important role in mediating sensory information to ...

The auditory thalamus is the central nexus of bottom-up connections from the inferior colliculus and top-down connections from auditory cortical areas. While considerable efforts have been made to ...

A new study reveals that working memory limitations stem from learning challenges rather than storage capacity.

New findings from scientists from the Carney Institute for Brian Science explain memory limits and shed light on ...

Embarrassing memories stick with us, but not for other people. Even years later, we might cringe to think of the things we've ...

By Balasubramani Paranthaman Sleep is a vital part of life, essential for both physical and mental well-being. However, sleep ...

Working memory is what allows humans to juggle different pieces of information in short-term scenarios, like making a mental grocery list and then going shopping or remembering and then dialing a ...

The authors conclude that these connections are less specific. In this article, the authors examined the organization of misplaced retinal inputs in the visual thalamus of albino mice at ...

Little is known about the associated brain activation during these sleep rhythms, and even less about their functional implications. In this study, we investigated the brain-wide activation underlying ...

As in larger brains, mouse visual cortex neurons with the same function cluster in columns.
