Sleep spindles provide a temporal framework to organize the reactivation of behaviorally relevant CA1 cells and sparsely active cells in the limbic thalamus.

Cross-frequency communication between the cortex and thalamus is linked to consciousness and changes in unconscious and psychedelic states, possibly due to shifts in brain dynamics between stability and chaos.

Secondary thalamic nuclei may provide stronger, longer-lasting input to superficial layers of primary sensory cortex than other cortical areas can.

In a mouse model of DYT25 dystonia with disruption of striatal neurotransmission by Gnal mutation, the cerebello-thalamic excitability is increased following symptom expression and θ-burst cerebellar stimulations during cholinergic-induced dystonia depress the cerebello-thalamic transmission and reduce the motor symptom severity.

The auditory thalamus encodes higher-order information that emerges while learning an auditory discrimination task.

Molecular and spatial profiling methods idenified five neuronal subtypes that are distributed along the anteroposterior axis of the paraventricular thalamus, a structure increasingly implicated in the control of emotional and motivated behaviors.

Inhibitory innervation in the dorsolateral geniculate nucleus is crucial for adult thalamic and cortical ocular dominance plasticity, highlighting potential thalamic involvement in conditions like amblyopia and learning disabilities.

Patterns of communication between the thalamus and the cortex are correlated with anesthesia-induced loss of consciousness and recovery.

Central thalamus relay neurons dynamically switch the activity of cortical and subcortical networks at distinct frequencies, providing a mechanism for this region's role in arousal regulation.

A detailed physiological characterization of inputs to the motor thalamus adds nuance to the notion that information from the cerebellum and basal ganglia are segregated and provides a mechanism by which the basal ganglia can gate communication between cortical areas.
