Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...
Years ago, as a neurology resident, Chinfei Chen, MD, Ph.D., cared for a 20-year-old woman who had experienced a very small stroke, affecting only the thalamus. "It was so tiny that she wouldn't have ...
The cerebral cortex processes sensory information via a complex network of neural connections. How are these signals modulated to refine perception? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has ...
New research reveals a cascade of molecular timers unfolding across the hippocampus, thalamus, and cortex determine whether short-term impressions consolidate into long-term memory, with implications ...
Axons in the thalamus (pink) extended toward the cortex, while those in the cortex (green) extended toward the thalamus at 14 days post-fusion. A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the ...

More than a simple relay station: Thalamus may guide timing of brain development and plasticity
The brain is known to develop gradually throughout the human lifespan, following a hierarchical pattern. First, it adapts to support basic functions, such as movement and sensory perception, then it ...
