A new study suggests the brain physically adapts to rely on alcohol to relieve stress and anxiety, creating a powerful feedback loop that makes quitting drinking extremely difficult. Researchers at ...

Researchers at Stanford Medicine have pinpointed a brain region that may drive autism-related behaviors. They report that dialing down its activity reversed symptoms in mice engineered to model autism ...

A, Retrograde labeling of cortical and subcortical regions projecting to the presubiculum (PrS) with retrobeads. B, Ipsilateral anterodorsal and anteroventral thalamic nuclei are labeled with beads. C ...

Rachel June Smith, Ph.D., and Scott Cruikshank, Ph.D., have been selected for the FCIDD McNulty Civitan Scientist Award for 2025. This award is given on behalf of the FCIDD McNulty Civitan Scientist ...

Researchers identified hyperactivity in a specific brain region as a driver of autism-like behaviours in mice – and reversed these symptoms using drugs first designed to treat epilepsy. Stanford ...

Researchers have identified hyperactivity in the reticular thalamic nucleus as a driver of autism-like behaviors in mice. This brain region, which gates sensory information, was found to be overactive ...

At any given moment, we are constantly bombarded by signals from at least four of the five senses. The visual system is constantly processing our surroundings. The auditory system is stimulated by all ...

This valuable research identifies Smim32 as a new genetic marker for the claustrum and generates transgenic mouse lines aimed at enhancing specificity when studying this brain region. However, the ...

Alpha rhythm slowing is an important electroencephalogram(EEG) feature associated with (AD). This study aims to understand the correlation between alpha band deceleration and molecular changes from ...

Add a description, image, and links to the thalamus-reticular-nucleus-gaba-cell-thalamus-geni topic page so that developers can more easily learn about it.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Sleep dysfunctions are common in schizophrenia, yet few evidence-based guidelines exist for the detection, diagnosis and management of sleep disturbances in this disorder. This ...
