Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic mental health condition characterized by recurrent episodes of depression and mania. It poses a substantial burden on global health, with an increasing incidence.

Researchers investigating how exactly the brain processes the incoming stream of information from the heart and lungs, discovered that specific neurons in the thalamus are actively involved in ...

Researchers identify that the brain's sensory checkpoint (TRN) undergoes a molecular "upgrade" in adulthood for high-resolution perception.

Recent analysis of human brain tissue suggests that a small and often overlooked region deep within the brain may play a central role in bipolar disorder. Researchers found that neurons in the ...

Stanford Medicine scientists investigating the neurological underpinnings of autism spectrum disorder have found that hyperactivity in a specific brain region could drive behaviors commonly associated ...

Researchers have demonstrated how paraventricular thalamic nucleus neurons play a role in bipolar disorder pathology and highlighted their potential as a promising diagnostic and therapeutic target.

It is generally believed that the adaptability of the adult brain mainly takes place in the cortex. However, a new study from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience shows that the thalamus, a ...
