Thalamic shape abnormalities in antipsychotic naïve schizophrenia
Indian Journal of Psychological Medicine, 2013 Background: Neurodevelopmental hypothesis of schizophrenia states abnormal pruning as one of the pathogenetic mechanism in schizophrenia. Though thalamic volume abnormalities have been documented, the shape differences of thalamus in antipsychotic-free ...

Altered structural connectivity of the left visual thalamus in developmental dyslexia [PDF]
Current Biology (2017), 2017 Developmental dyslexia is characterized by persistent reading and spelling deficits. Partly due to technical challenges with investigating subcortical sensory structures, current research on dyslexia in humans by-and-large focuses on the cerebral cortex.

Spatiotemporal adaptation through corticothalamic loops: A hypothesis [PDF]
, 2000 The thalamus is the major gate to the cortex and its control over cortical responses is well established. Cortical feedback to the thalamus is, in turn, the anatomically dominant input to relay cells, yet its influence on thalamic processing has been ...

Uncertainty Estimation in Medical Image Localization: Towards Robust Anterior Thalamus Targeting for Deep Brain Stimulation [PDF]
, 2020 Atlas-based methods are the standard approaches for automatic targeting of the Anterior Nucleus of the Thalamus (ANT) for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), but these are known to lack robustness when anatomic differences between atlases and subjects are large. To improve the localization robustness, we propose a novel two-stage deep learning (DL) framework,

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

Some investigations into non passive listening [PDF]
, 2006 Our knowledge of the function of the auditory nervous system is based upon a wealth of data obtained, for the most part, in anaesthetised animals. More recently, it has been generally acknowledged that factors such as attention profoundly modulate the ...

A population model of deep brain stimulation in movement disorders from circuits to cells [PDF]
, 2020 Copyright © 2020 Yousif, Bain, Nandi and Borisyuk.For more than 30 years, deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been used to target the symptoms of a number of neurological disorders and in particular movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD) and ...

Selective Inhibition and Recruitment of Linear-Threshold Thalamocortical Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Neuroscientific evidence shows that for most brain networks all pathways between cortical regions either pass through the thalamus or a transthalamic parallel route exists for any direct corticocortical connection. This paper seeks to formally study the dynamical behavior of the resulting thalamocortical brain networks with a view to characterizing the

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 ...
