In a study published in Science today, Mingsha Zhang, a neuroscientist at Beijing Normal University, focused on the thalamus.

Thalamic regions drive conscious perception by syncing with the prefrontal cortex, acting as a gateway to awareness. Using ...

Examine the benefits and challenges of high sensitivity and explore the three most common myths about highly sensitive people ...

Neurons in the rat primary auditory cortex (A1) generally cannot respond ... differences in spectral and temporal features of the sensory input can drive very different cortical reorganizations.

A new study using intracranial recordings in humans reveals that the thalamus, particularly its higher-order regions, plays a central role in triggering conscious perception.

We indeed found that aspects of the prefrontal cortex had a connectivity fingerprint in the human that we couldn't find ...

Further analysis revealed the specific brain circuits responsible for this switch: - The posterior parietal cortex (PPC), a ...

Using direct, intracranial brain recordings in humans, a new study finds that the thalamus, a small region located deep within the brain, plays a pivotal role in conscious perception. According to the ...

Huang and colleagues examined neural responses in mouse anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) during a discrimination-avoidance task. The authors present useful findings that ACC neurons encode primarily ...

New results help address a longstanding debate regarding which learning strategies allow animals to anticipate negative events based on past associations between sensory stimuli.
