Using highly specialized 3D imaging and analysis techniques, we found consistent changes in the shape of the eyes and nose, ...

Figure 1. The cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical loop in human brain. The brain areas on the circuit contain: prefrontal cortex (PFC), OFC, premotor cortex (PM), thalamus, striatum (StrD1 and ...

Research suggesting the beneficial effects of yoga on myriad aspects of psychological health has proliferated in recent years, yet there is currently no overarching framework by which to understand ...

Parkinson’s disease tremor is believed to originate in the basal ganglia and be amplified by the cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuit. As stress exacerbates tremor, the noradrenergic system may play a ...

This important study showing that sleep deprivation increases functional synapses while depleting silent synapses supports previous findings that excitatory signaling increases during wakefulness.

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 ...

This important study measures the functional specialization of distinct subregions within the mouse posterior parietal cortex (PPC) using mesoscopic two-photon calcium imaging during visual ...
