Years ago, as a neurology resident, Chinfei Chen, MD, PhD, cared for a 20-year-old woman who had experienced a very small stroke, affecting only the thalamus.

After follow-up, almost all thalamic subnuclei showed tract losses in PD hallucinators compared with non-hallucinators. Interpretation PD hallucinators show white matter loss particularly in posterior ...

Feng et al. discovered that the intralaminar and medial thalamic nuclei exhibited earlier and stronger consciousness-related neural activity compared to the ventral nuclei and PFC. Notably, the ...

But studying these regions would allow researchers to broaden their theories of consciousness ... focused on the thalamus. This region at the centre of the brain is involved in processing sensory ...

Different types of neurons include sensory, motor, and interneurons, as well as their structurally based features, which include unipolar, multipolar, bipolar, and pseudo-unipolar neurons. These cells ...

Lymphocyte levels may return to healthy levels on their own or following treatment. Doctors will first identify the underlying cause of lymphocytosis to determine the best way of lowering ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The author of many tech books, Michael Ashley covers AI and Big Data.

Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu shared that AI can automate up to 90% of coding tasks but cannot replace human ingenuity. While AI excels in repetitive tasks, discovering new patterns requires human ...
