0 one of the two oval-shaped parts of the brain that control feeling and all the senses except for the sense of smell --
First, they allude to recent efforts to use region-specific markers to divide the thalamus into sectors.
The scientists fixed electrodes to 177 cells from the thalamus region of the cat's brain in a series of 11 experiments.
Nonetheless, this observation calls into question the widespread use of mice and rats to study the thalamus.
These labeled cells occupied a wide band throughout the rostrocaudal extent of the thalamus.
In lateral thalamus, cells responsive to painful stimuli are located in the core area and in the postero-inferior area.
Calcium-binding protein immunoreactivity delineates the intralaminar nuclei of the thalamus in the human brain.
Cue-specific conditioned stimuli are transmitted to the thalamus by external and visceral pathways.
Alternatively, or in addition, pathological lesions may cause cortical hyperexcitability and increase the cortical drive on the thalamus.
