Reporting in Nature Neuroscience, Kiecker and Lumsden show that, as well as physically segregating the prethalamic and thalamic primordia in the diencephalon (the posterior subdivision of the ...

However, this is not the case across the board. There is an urgent need to improve the outlook for children with diencephalic tumors, which occupy the diencephalon—a region of the brain that sits ...

Neural rigidity is linked to the thalamus, an egg-shaped organ in the diencephalon region of the brain. When your body gets ...

Certain genes influence the volume of key brain regions, which, in turn, could play a role in the development of Parkinson's ...

amygdala and the ventral diencephalon. What they found was that genetic expression impacts brain volume across different regions, and this appears to influence a predisposition to various brain ...

globus pallidus and ventral diencephalon. These regions are critical for forming memories, regulating emotions, controlling movement, processing sensory data from the outside world, and responding ...

Coupled to this, migraine has been hypothesized to involve a dysfunction of areas of the brainstem and diencephalon, which seem to mediate the activation, or perception of activation, of the ...

When animals are used in a biomedical research activity that may result in more than mild or momentary pain or distress, humanity, federal regulations and common sense direct us to use the least ...
