Discover how groundbreaking insights into thalamic connectivity are reshaping treatment approaches for essential tremor, paving the way for personalized and more effective DBS therapies. Study: ...

The idea of electrically stimulating a brain region called the central thalamus has gained traction among researchers and clinicians because it can help arouse subjects from unconscious states induced ...

In awake mice, researchers found that even low deep brain stimulation currents in the central thalamus could sometimes still cause electrographic seizures. The idea of electrically stimulating a brain ...

A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs known as assembloids, which are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) ...

Axons in the thalamus (pink) extended toward the cortex, while those in the cortex (green) extended toward the thalamus at 14 days post-fusion. A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the ...

Locating the centromedian nucleus (CM) for deep brain stimulation (DBS) is challenging with standard imaging. This review highlights advanced methods—high-resolution MRI, intraoperative ...

The vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) is a pacemaker-like device implanted in the chest that delivers intermittent electrical signals to the brain via an electrode wrapped around the left vagus nerve. The ...

Deep brain stimulation may provide immediate improvement in arm and hand strength and function weakened by traumatic brain injury or stroke. Deep brain stimulation may provide immediate improvement in ...
