The thalamus and its subregions – a gateway to obsessive-compulsive disorder

European Psychiatry, 2022
Introduction Higher thalamic volume has been found in children with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and children with clinical-level symptoms within the general population (Boedhoe et al. 2017, Weeland et al. 2021a).

An Evolutionarily Conserved Network Mediates Development of the zona limitans intrathalamica, a Sonic Hedgehog-Secreting Caudal Forebrain Signaling Center

Journal of Developmental Biology, 2016
Recent studies revealed new insights into the development of a unique caudal forebrain-signaling center: the zona limitans intrathalamica (zli). The zli is the last brain signaling center to form and the first forebrain compartment to be established.

Thalamocortical Connectivity in Experimentally-Induced Migraine Attacks: A Pilot Study

Brain Sciences, 2021
In this study we used nitroglycerin (NTG)-induced migraine attacks as a translational human disease model. Static and dynamic functional connectivity (FC) analyses were applied to study the associated functional brain changes. A spontaneous migraine-like

Regional thalamic neuropathology in patients with hippocampal sclerosis and epilepsy: A postmortem study [PDF]

, 2013
Purpose Clinical, experimental, and neuroimaging data all indicate that the thalamus is involved in the network of changes associated with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), particularly in association with hippocampal sclerosis (HS), with potential roles in ...

The role of higher-order thalamus during learning and correct performance in goal-directed behavior

eLife, 2022
The thalamus is a gateway to the cortex. Cortical encoding of complex behavior can therefore only be understood by considering the thalamic processing of sensory and internally generated information.

Disruption of Accumbens and Thalamic White Matter Connectivity Revealed by Diffusion Tensor Tractography in Young Men with Genetic Risk for Obesity

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018
Background: Neurovascular coupling is associated with white matter (WM) structural integrity, and it is regulated by specific subtypes of dopaminergic receptors.

The general anaesthetic etomidate inhibits the excitability of mouse thalamocortical relay neurons by modulating multiple modes of GABA_A receptor-mediated inhibition [PDF]

, 2014
Modulation of thalamocortical (TC) relay neuron function has been implicated in the sedative and hypnotic effects of general anaesthetics. Inhibition of TC neurons is mediated predominantly by a combination of phasic and tonic inhibition, together with a

Histological investigation of the interthalamic adhesion and periventricular region: Evidence for midline neural connectivity

Ibrain
The interthalamic adhesion (IA), which may not be present in all humans, is a midline structure that connects the two thalami within the brain's third ventricle.

Somatosensory‐Thalamic Functional Dysconnectivity Associated With Poststroke Motor Function Rehabilitation: A Resting‐State fMRI Study

Brain and Behavior
Background The thalamus plays a pivotal role in functional brain networks, yet its contribution to motor function recovery following stroke remains elusive.

Ventricular volume adjustment of brain regions depicts brain changes associated with HIV infection and aging better than intracranial volume adjustment

Frontiers in Neurology
IntroductionWhile the adjustment of intracranial volume (ICV) is reported to have a significant influence in the outcomes of the analyses of brain structural measures, our study offers a paradigm shift, positing that adjusting for lateral ventricle (LV ...
