within the ventral posteromedial thalamic nucleus (VPM) have been studied [6] . Figure 3 shows changes in responsiveness of the thalamic VPM nucleus neurons to a nociceptive stimulation at the ...

5. Conclusion and Discussion The thalamic reticular nucleus is a strategical locus due to its pacemaking role in spindle generation during sleep (Steriade et al., 1985, 1987) and its gatekeeper ...

08 Nov 2021 People with Alzheimer’s disease have trouble sleeping and awaken frequently, but exactly why this happens is unclear. In the November 3 Science Translational Medicine, researchers led by ...

In the current study, a team led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine discovered that, in an animal model of Alzheimer’s disease, restoring normal sleep by returning to normal the activity of ...

The thalamus is a “Grand Central Station” for sensory information coming to our brains. Almost every sight, sound, taste and touch we perceive travels to our brain’s cortex via the thalamus. It is ...
