He studied functional circuit processing throughout the visual system,
including thalamus, primary visual cortex and extrastriate visual areas using in vivo two - photon imaging, calcium sensors and viral tracers.

Most sensory information from the outside world —
including sight, touch and sound — is collected in a region of the brain called the
thalamus.
In this case, its apparent consciousness - raising effects stem from the multiple and far - flung connections it makes throughout the brain directly or indirectly,
including with the
thalamus.
This
included less activity in the putamen,
thalamus, cerebellum amongst other areas, and more activity in the peripheral cortical areas which are also linked to social perception and behaviour.
A mask of a priori selected regions (dorsal and ventral striatum) and those from
thalamus and midbrain (
including the subthalamic nucleus) was created using the digital anatomical brain atlases provided with the MRIcro software (www.cabiatl.com/mricro/).
Specifically, the voxels corresponding to striatum (caudate, putamen, and ventral striatum) and
thalamus were defined in the MNI stereotactic space using the Automated Anatomical Labeling atlas (41); thresholding, the simplest method of image segmentation, was used to identify midbrain voxels on a T1 - weighted image (ch2.img; an average of 27 T1 - weighted scans of the same individual that is
included in the MRIcro template folder).
Gray matter is located on the surface of the cerebral cortex and also
includes deep brain structures such as the
thalamus and basal ganglia.
The medial septal area projects to a large number of brain regions that show theta modulation,
including all parts of the hippocampus as well as the entorhinal cortex, perirhinal cortex, retrosplenial cortex, medial mamillary and supramamillary nuclei of the hypothalamus, anterior nuclei of the
thalamus, amygdala, inferior colliculus, and several brainstem nuclei (Buzsáki, 2002).
December 19, 2017 — Noteworthy NIH advances in basic research
include a 3 - D model of human brain development and disease, a virus linked to food sensitivity, and a new role discovered for the
thalamus.
During the working memory task significant increases in activation volume were observed in frontal and parietal association cortices as well as subcortical structures,
including the caudate, globus pallidus, putamen, and
thalamus.
Researchers,
including Makinson, recently learned that the
thalamus is abnormal in mouse models of Dravet syndrome.
Very preterm individuals compared to controls showed reduced grey matter in temporal, frontal, occipital cortices and cerebellum,
including putamen, insula, cuneus, fusiform gyrus,
thalamus and caudate nucleus.
In addition, the physiological adjustments to chemosensory anxiety signals
include attentional control systems (dorsomedial prefrontal cortex,
thalamus) and a supramodal unit, timing the different emotional processing systems (vermis, cerebellum).
Neural regions expressed in human OCD
include the orbitofrontal cortex, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the anterior cingulate circuit, the basal ganglia and the
thalamus [18] and also the amygdala [19].
