Subcortical structures, including high-order thalamic nuclei, remain comparatively unexplored, ill-accounting for how rapidly shifting sensory information becomes part of conscious experience.

While subcortical structures are primarily involved in regulating conscious states, many theories emphasize the importance of subcortical-cortical loops in conscious perception. However, most studies ...

The research led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal) in Spain showed reduced functional connectivity within and between certain cortical and subcortical brain networks in kids ...

While subcortical structures are primarily involved in regulating conscious states, many theories emphasize the importance of subcortical-cortical loops in conscious perception. However ...

The efficacy of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in improving outcomes after nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains uncertain, with inconsistent findings from randomized clinical trials.

These findings deepen our understanding of how brain circuits give rise to consciousness and highlight a vital role for subcortical structures. Using direct, intracranial brain recordings in humans, a ...
