A complex nucleus in the DIENCEPHALON, comprising a number of different cell groups. It is subdivided into three component parts—the dorsal thalamus, ventral thalamus and epithalamus—on the basis of differences in connectivity and...

The thalamus is a part of the brain that is found in the third ventricle. It is egg-shaped and along with the hypothalamus comprises the area known as the diencephalon. The thalamus acts as a central relay station for all sensory impulses travelling...

The metathalamus, which is also known as the corpora geniculata, is located in a region of the forebrain called the diencephalon. It is comprised of two structures, the medial geniculate body and the lateral geniculate body. In cross-section the brain...

The thalamus (from Greek θάλαμος = bedroom, chamber, IPA= /ˈθæləməs/) is a pair and symmetric part of the brain. It constitutes the main part of the...

Electrodes inserted in the brain may point the way to restoring sight lost to eye disease or trauma. The research in monkeys is in very early stages, but has shown some promise, Harvard Medical School researchers report in Tuesday's issue of Proceedings of the National...
