Now, a multidisciplinary study involving scientists from the Basque Centre on Cognition Brain and Language (BCBL), the University College London and the University of Castilla-La Mancha shows the ...
"This study puts emphasis on the thalamus and its importance during adolescence in regulating prefrontal cortex circuit maturation. We hope that our findings will inspire future studies to disentangle ...
Transmission of sensory information through the dorsal thalamus involves two types of modality-related nuclei, first order and higher order, between which there are thought to be no intrathalamic ...
There are also two somatosensory thalamocortical nuclei -- that is, nuclei that transmit sensory information from the thalamus to the neocortex. One is the first-order ventral posterior nucleus, or VP ...
