The following information is about Thalamus.
Thalamus Defined
A structure in the brain that relays and processes incoming sensory information from the eyes and ears and from pressure and pain receptors
This definition is in context to Medical. See more contextual defintions for Thalamus.
Brain Regions Damaged By Prenatal Alcohol Exposure Identified By Water-Diffusion Technology
Published July 21, 2008, 2:12 am, Medical News Today
Scientists know that children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) often have structural brain damage. Yet little is known about how white matter connections, and deep gray matter structures that act as relay stations, are affected in children with FASD.

- Temporal binding via cortical coincidence detection of specific and nonspecific thalamocortica l inputs: A voltage-depend ent dye-imaging study in mouse brain slices ? PNAS: VSD imaging in slice. Stimulation to CL and/or VB. Nonlinear processing in S1 was observed when both structures are stimulated.

- ScienceDirect - Neuroscience : Neural coding of temporal information in auditory thalamus and cortex: A wonderful review about neural processing of time-varying auditory stimuli in the thalamus and auditory cortices by Wang.
- ScienceDirect - Neuroscience : Branched projections in the auditory thalamocortica l and corticocortica l systems: The degree to which TC and CC neurons with branched axons praticipate in several auditory areas is studied. The function of such cell types should be interesting for future researches.

- Corticostriata l and Thalamostriata l Synapses Have Distinctive Properties -- Ding et al. 28 (25): 6483 -- Journal of Neuroscience: At CtxSt synapses, a single afferent volley increased the glu released by a subsequent volley, leading to enhanced postsynaptic depo with repetitive stimulation.TS synapses have opposite tendency.

- Corticothalami c Feedback for Sound-Specific Plasticity of Auditory Thalamic Neurons Elicited by Tones Paired with Basal Forebrain Stimulation -- Zhang and Yan 18 (7): 1521 -- Cerebral Cortex: Stimulation to basal forebrain induced plastic changes of frequency tunings in MGBv, although suppression of auditory cortical activity completely abolished this change.

- Corticofugal Projection Inhibits the Auditory Thalamus Through the Thalamic Reticular Nucleus -- Zhang et al. 99 (6): 2938 -- Journal of Neurophysiolog y: This is really bad paper. They evaluated inhibition in MGB. They tried to exclude the possibility of GABAergic interneurons in MGB but I don't think it is feasible...

- Cortical Adenylyl Cyclase 1 Is Required for Thalamocortica l Synapse Maturation and Aspects of Layer IV Barrel Development -- Iwasato et al. 28 (23): 5931 -- Journal of Neuroscience: Barrel map formation relies on proper thalamoctx syaptic maturation and the AC1-PKA signaling pathway regulates the maturation of the barrela cortex L4 neurons.

- Functional Mechanisms Shaping Lateral Geniculate Responses to Artificial and Natural Stimuli: Neuron -- Mante et al.: An elegant study from Carandini's lab. They modeled LGN responses and concluded that up to the LGN the responses to natural scenes can be largely explained through insights gained with simple artificial stimuli.
