Diverse sensory and cognitive functions rely on complex and dynamic neural interactions between cortical and subcortical brain areas to coordinate incoming inputs and feedback processes, creating ...

Recently, the team led by Chief Physician Quan Zhang and Associate Professor Feng Liu at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital systematically evaluated the genetic associations between type 2 ...

Researchers have discovered a new mechanism to explain the effects of subcortical strokes and a new possible therapeutic approach. Researchers at the Center for Cognition and Sociality, within the ...

Human consciousness requires arousal (i.e., wakefulness) and awareness Brain imaging studies over the last decade have produced connectivity maps of the cortical networks that sustain awareness, but ...

Using an ultra-high-resolution imaging technology called 7 Tesla functional MRI (fMRI) on human participants, researchers have mapped how different parts of the brain work together. Specifically, they ...

Research led by the University of Michigan's Kresge Hearing Research Institute and the University of Rochester illuminates the mechanisms through which humans can pick out and focus on single sounds ...
