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 ...
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic mental health condition characterized by recurrent episodes of depression and mania. It poses a substantial burden on global health, with an increasing incidence.
Researchers have examined neurodegenerative pathology in the paraventricular thalamus and medial temporal region, including the hippocampus, in patients with bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder (BD) is ...
Researchers identify that the brain's sensory checkpoint (TRN) undergoes a molecular "upgrade" in adulthood for high-resolution perception.
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 ...
The dominant theory in neuroscience has been that the sensory processing circuits in our brain are finalized in early ...
