When a doctor suspects a patient may have a glioma, they will perform a thorough workup to get an accurate diagnosis in order to tailor treatment to the patient and cancer. The first step is a ...

Heidi was revealed to have terminal, high grade, diffuse midline glioma - a type of brain tumour that typically occurs in midline structures of the brain like the brainstem, thalamus or spinal cord.

We began by examining the anatomy of cell-type-specific projections from nRT to the lateral geniculate nucleus (dLGN) and neighboring thalamic structures. Finding that the SST-cell projection was more ...

Central thalamus plays a critical role in forebrain arousal and organized behavior. However, network-level mechanisms that link its activity to brain state remain enigmatic. Here, we combined ...
