Using a rodent stress model, researchers at the Laboratory of Thalamus Research, HUN-REN Institute of Experimental Medicine discovered a sustained increase in neural activity that persisted for ...

It was found that she had suffered a stroke, damaging a brain area called the thalamus. While both sides of the brain were affected, the thalamus in the right half of the brain suffered stronger ...

Our findings suggest that indirect damage to the thalamus plays an important and under-explored role in the abnormal brain activity and long-term disability that often follow stroke.

Persistent alteration of neuronal activity in a specialized thalamic nucleus underlies maladaptive behavioral changes after the exposure to a stressful event.
