Excitatory input from #PrefrontalCortex to #hippocampus pyramidal cells is believed to be mediated through the thalamic nucleus reuniens. @mick &co show in rodents that this brain pathway is unexpectedly minor, contrary to assumptions in the field

Something I always wondered about people with #tourettes and #ticdisorders:

We're almost always empaths.

The part of our brain - the #prefrontalcortex - responsible for #empathy is slightly larger than usual while the part of our brain in our #basalganglia regulating motor planning/control, has faulty neuro-pathways and shrunken parts.

More connections to the PFC as an adaptation, resulting in glitchy motor controls but perhaps very deep emotions.

Excitatory projections from the nucleus reuniens to the medial prefrontal cortex modulate pain and depression-like behaviors in mice

The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is a key brain area for pain sensation and chronic pain. This study shows that modulation of a circuit projecting from the nucleus reuniens of the thalamus to the mPFC improves neural and behavioral indicators of chronic pain in mice.
