The role of the thalamus in high-level cognition-attention, working memory (WM), rule-based learning, and decision making-remains poorly understood, especially in comparison to that of cortical frontoparietal networks [1-3]. Studies of visual thalamus have revealed important roles for pulvinar and lateral geniculate nucleus in visuospatial perception and attention [4-10] and for mediodorsal tha...

Rarely in neuroscience does an idea come along that illuminates an entire field of work and promises to shape its future—this may have just happened for the thalamus and the way we view its relationship with the cerebral cortex. The mammalian thalamus is a paired structure comprising a relatively small group of neuronal nuclei that sits in roughly the center of the brain, on either side of the ...

This study seeks a better understanding of possible pathophysiological mechanisms associated with cognitive impairment and dementia in Parkinson's disease using structural functional MRI. We investigated resting-state connectivity important subdivisions the caudate nucleus, putamen thalamus, also how morphology these structures are impacted disorder. found cognitively unimpaired subjects (n = 3...

Groups of pregnant rats were injected with two successive daily doses of 3H-thymidine from gestational days 13 and 14 (E13 + 14) until the day before birth (E21 + 22). Internuclear and intranuclear cytogenetic gradients were examined in radiograms of the thalamus sectioned in the coronal, sagittal and horizontal planes. There was a precise and segregated lateral-to-medial gradient between and w...

We introduce a novel method that provides quantitative lipidomics results from Raman maps in the paraventricular nucleus of thalamus (PVT) region post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) rat brains.

Abstract Objective We retrospectively reviewed the post-irradiation course of cases treated with radiotherapy for gliomas involving thalamus or brainstem. Methods Thirty-seven brainstem from 2007 to 2021 in our hospital were included. Median age was 47 (19-79) years, and KPS at start irradiation 80% less 26 cases. Tumor localization only/brainstem only/both 20/9/8 Two did not undergo biopsy, ot...
