The emotional gatekeeper: a computational model of attentional selection and suppression through the pathway from the amygdala to the inhibitory thalamic reticular nucleus [PDF]
, 2016 In a complex environment that contains both opportunities and threats, it is important for an organism to flexibly direct attention based on current events and prior plans. The amygdala, the hub of the brain's emotional system, is involved in forming and

Thalamic inflammation after brain trauma is associated with thalamo-cortical white matter damage [PDF]
, 2015 Background Traumatic brain injury can trigger chronic neuroinflammation, which may predispose to neurodegeneration. Animal models and human pathological studies demonstrate persistent inflammation in the thalamus associated with axonal injury, but this ...

Does Corticothalamic Feedback Control Cortical Velocity Tuning? [PDF]
, 2001 The thalamus is the major gate to the cortex and its contribution to cortical receptive field properties is well established. Cortical feedback to the thalamus is, in turn, the anatomically dominant input to relay cells, yet its influence on thalamic ...

Neural correlates of phonological, orthographic and semantic reading processing in dyslexia [PDF]
, 2018 Developmental dyslexia is one of the most prevalent learning disabilities, thought to be associated with dysfunction in the neural systems underlying typical reading acquisition. Neuroimaging research has shown that readers with dyslexia exhibit regional

Short-term effect of adrenalin on S-100b and N-CAM level in the different rat brain areas
Regulatory Mechanisms in Biosystems, 2015 The level of adrenalin grows under stress conditions, sense of danger, anxiety, fear, trauma, burns and shock. In high concentrations adrenaline increases the speed of protein catabolism.

Confluent Thalamic Hyperintensities in CADASIL [PDF]
, 2010 Background: CADASIL is responsible for diffuse hyperintensities in the white matter on FLAIR images. These lesions are often associated with focal lesions in the basal ganglia such as lacunar infarctions.
