Thalamic nuclei changes in early and late onset Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Current Research in Neurobiology, 2023 Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia worldwide. Increasing evidence points to the thalamus as an important hub in the clinical symptomatology of the disease, with the ‘limbic thalamus’ been described as especially vulnerable.

THALAMIC NEUROMODULATION AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR EXECUTIVE NETWORKS [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2014 The thalamus is a key structure that controls the routing of information in the brain. Understanding modulation at the thalamic level is critical to understanding the flow of information to brain regions involved in cognitive functions, such as the ...

Evidence for Spatially-Responsive Neurons in the Rostral Thalamus [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015 Damage involving the anterior thalamic and adjacent rostral thalamic nuclei may result in a severe anterograde amnesia, similar to the amnesia resulting from damage to the hippocampal formation. Little is known, however, about the information represented
