Beijing Normal University-led researchers have identified specific high-order thalamic nuclei that drive human conscious perception by activating the prefrontal cortex. Their findings enhance ...
Using direct, intracranial brain recordings in humans, a new study finds that the thalamus, a small region located deep within the brain, plays a pivotal role in conscious perception. According to the ...
In a recent study published in the journal Nature Medicine, researchers evaluated the effectiveness and safety of deep brain stimulation (DBS) within the central lateral (CL) thalamic nuclei and the ...
Research that is taking a closer look at activity in the thalamus—a region long considered a relay station for the brain and involved in consciousness and motor activity—reveals the thalamus may play ...

A 20-to-45 Hz oscillation deep in the human thalamus appears only when you’re awake or in REM, the new biological signature of consciousness
A specific electrical rhythm in the central thalamus, oscillating between 19 and 45 Hz, has been detected only when people are awake or dreaming during REM sleep. The signal disappears entirely during ...
