Colored green above, a songbird's cortex, which dominates the bird brain ... It is a processing station between the thalamus (lighter blue), which collects and distributes sensory information ...

In particular, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex—a region responsible for higher-order thinking—and the mediodorsal thalamus—a brain area involved in filtering and prioritizing information ...

The striate cortex is the first cortical visual area that receives input from the lateral geniculate nucleus in the thalamus. How various factors dynamically influence neuronal variability is a ...

Patterns of neural activity known as alpha waves, long thought to originate in the thalamus, may actually stem from a different ... Traub’s colleagues inserted electrodes into a piece of visual cortex ...

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 ...

the ventral lateral geniculate nucleus (vLGN), located near the thalamus. Two key brain regions in fear suppression The study revealed that learning to suppress fear relies on the interaction between ...
