Study assesses seizure risk from stimulating the thalamus
In animal models, even low stimulation currents can sometimes still cause electrographic seizures, researchers found.David Orenstein | The Picower Institute for Learning and MemoryPublication Date:September 6, 2024 Caption:In hope of finding a thalamic stimulation current level that wouldn’t trigger seizures, researchers progressively titrated current (horizontal axis).Credits:Image: Brown Lab/MIT Picower Institute The idea of electrically stimulating...

Mouse-human comparison reveals unexpected functions of the thalamus
by Ruhr-Universitaet-Bochum Human fMRI confirms the dlPFC, not OFC or MD, receives the driving sensory input. A. Strategy switching (Switching>Staying) entailed significant activity in right dlPFC, right OFC and right MD; here projected on axial, coronal and sagittal MRI brain slices. Brain activations displayed at p < 0.001 (uncorrected, red) and p < 0.05 (whole...
