Bipolar disorder can feel like a storm that erupts from nowhere, yet for decades the brain circuitry driving those brutal ...

Bipolar disorder (BD) is a major mental disorder, affecting 1% of the global population. Patients suffering from BD frequently experience manic and ...

Scientists rebuilt human brain circuits in the lab and discovered that the thalamus acts as a central organizer of cortical wiring. The findings offer new insight into how brain networks form and why ...

Most thalamic research has focused on sensory transmission. Now three independent groups reveal the thalamus to be critical in behaviors linked to frontal cortex and the maintenance of persistent ...

Researchers have demonstrated how paraventricular thalamic nucleus neurons play a role in bipolar disorder pathology and ...

A recent study by the Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care reveals that an area of the brain distinct from the stroke lesion may play a significant role in causing the life-altering symptoms with which ...

Aerobic exercise has the potential to restore function in adults with multiple sclerosis (MS) and thalamic atrophy — a patient population at increased risk for progressive physical and cognitive ...

In a study conducted at the University of Turku, Finland, the neural mechanisms of different anesthetics were investigated using functional brain imaging. Disconnection from external world and events ...

The treatment of epilepsy relies primarily on antiepileptic medications, which control seizures in approximately two thirds of patients. Other proven therapeutic modalities include epilepsy surgery, ...

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 ...
