@roselynechauvin & team use daily fMRI to show that 2 weeks of arm disuse triggers spontaneous “disuse pulses” and boosts connectivity in motor cortex, thalamus and putamen.

This week: Thalamocortical loops & learning

@seanescola.bsky.social & team show how corticothalamic connectivity optimizes motor control & working memory in mouse model

How does the thalamus fine-tune cortical activity? Check out! ⬇️

🚀🧠 Introducing #NeuroThursday!

Every week, we’ll share an interesting paper on neural loops and the circuits that shape perception, cognition, and more. From bioacoustics to brain organoids, if it loops, we’re talking about it!

Stay tuned! 🧠🔄⚡
