Researchers have identified a neural circuit that helps suppress the execution of planned actions in response to specific cues.
The way neurons are structured, and the patterns they make can be used to explain how they behave and function. The findings have implications for creating intelligent robots.
A new optogenetics study could be a breakthrough in understanding how the TRN influences consciousness.
Researchers report the thalamus plays a critical role in regulating how the brain learns to integrate binocular input during development.
Researchers say the inferior parietal lobe, thalamus and caudate play key roles in processing spiritual experiences.
Max Planck Florida Institute Study Shows: Persistent Sensory Experience Is Good For The Aging Brain Despite a long-held scientific belief...
Neurons in the parafascicular thalamus project to three different parts of the basal ganglia. Targeting these circuits could be a new target for treating motor dysfunction and depression associated with Parkinson's disease.
Findings could help in the development of new prevention options and treatments for drug addiction, researchers report.
A new study challenges 75 year old dogma of mammalian vision. Researchers have shows the post rhinal cortex obtains visual data from the superior colliculus and is not dependent upon information from primary visual cortex.
A new study reveals the somatosensory cortex plays a complex role in memory and reward learning.
A new study reveals a mechanism that may explain the link between sound input and cognitive function in the developing brain.
Researchers have identified how two types of neurons divide the labor to plan and initiate movements.
