The cognitive thalamus [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2015
Cognitive processing is commonly conceptualized as being restricted to the cerebral cortex. Accordingly, electrophysiology, neuroimaging and lesion studies involving human and animal subjects have almost exclusively focused on defining roles for cerebral cortical areas in cognition.

Corticothalamic projections control synchronization in locally coupled bistable thalamic oscillators [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. Lett. 99, 068102 (2007), 2007
Thalamic circuits are able to generate state-dependent oscillations of different frequencies and degrees of synchronization. However, only little is known how synchronous oscillations, like spindle oscillations in the thalamus, are organized in the intact brain. Experimental findings suggest that the simultaneous occurrence of spindle oscillations over

Atrophy in the Thalamus But Not Cerebellum Is Specific for C9orf72 FTD and ALS Patients – An Atlas-Based Volumetric MRI Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2018
Background: The neuropathology of patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) due to a C9orf72 mutation is characterized by two distinct types of characteristic protein depositions containing either TDP-43 or so ...

Hippocampus, Amygdala, and Thalamus Volumes in Very Preterm Children at 8 Years: Neonatal Pain and Genetic Variation

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2019
Altered hippocampal morphology and reduced volumes have been found in children born preterm compared to full-term. Stress inhibits neurogenesis in the hippocampus, and neonatal stress/noxious stimulation in rodent pups are associated with long-term ...

Caloric vestibular stimulation reduces pain and somatoparaphrenia in a severe chronic central post-stroke pain patient: a case study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Central post-stroke pain is a neuropathic syndrome characterized by intolerable contralesional pain and, in rare cases, somatic delusions. To date, there is limited evidence for the effective treatments of this disease.

The Contribution of Thalamic Nuclei in Salience Processing

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021
The brain continuously receives diverse information about the external environment and changes in the homeostatic state. The attribution of salience determines which stimuli capture attention and, therefore, plays an essential role in regulating emotions

Cervical Dystonia Is Associated With Aberrant Inhibitory Signaling Within the Thalamus

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2021
Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate whether alterations in the neurotransmission of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the thalamus are present in patients with cervical dystonia compared to healthy controls.Methods: GABA magnetic ...

Damage in the Thalamocortical Tracts is Associated With Subsequent Thalamus Atrophy in Early Multiple Sclerosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2020
Background: In early multiple sclerosis (MS), thalamus atrophy and decreased integrity of the thalamocortical white matter (WM) tracts have been observed.Objective: To investigate the temporal association between thalamus volume and WM damage in the ...

Whole-Brain Afferent Inputs to the Caudate Nucleus, Putamen, and Accumbens Nucleus in the Tree Shrew Striatum

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2021
Day-active tree shrews have a well-developed internal capsule (ic) that clearly separates the caudate nucleus (Cd) and putamen (Pu). The striatum consists of the Cd, ic, Pu, and accumbens nucleus (Acb).

Revisiting the “Paradox of Stereotaxic Surgery”: Insights Into Basal Ganglia-Thalamic Interactions

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2021
Basal ganglia dysfunction is implicated in movement disorders including Parkinson Disease, dystonia, and choreiform disorders. Contradicting standard “rate models” of basal ganglia-thalamic interactions, internal pallidotomy improves both hypo- and hyper-
