The study shows the precise location of the thalamic and cortical neurons that receive information from the ocular surface ...

Neurons encoding behavioral states received significantly fewer inputs from motor cortical areas and more from thalamic ...

Signals from the body are first sent to the thalamus, the brain’s hub for sensory processing. Neurons here relay information to higher brain regions that help identify the source and intensity ...

the researchers discovered that stimulus-specific neurons in the ACC receive distinct synaptic inputs from the mediodorsal thalamus (MD). This finding indicates that pain and itch are processed by ...

A mouse study concludes color-detecting cones in the eye and a subset of neurons in the brain’s thalamus are why green light exposure has an analgesic effect. Mice have neurons that connect to both ...

Different neuronal cells have a diverse range of activity patterns, but the cause has remained unclear. In mice, maps of brain-wide inputs to individual neurons that do or do not show activity ...

Both signals travel from the spinal cord to the brain via the thalamus, eventually reaching the ACC, a region involved in sensory processing and cognition. However, how the ACC differentiates these ...

Using high-resolution single-cell mapping to trace neuronal connectivity, the team revealed that thalamic input is the primary driver for movement-correlated neurons, while motor cortical input ...
