Now online! Peripheral cancer attenuates amyloid pathology in Alzheimer’s disease via cystatin-c activation of TREM2
Thalamic recordings show a rhythm that’s strong in wake and REM and absent in deep sleep: An electrophysiological signature of conscious states.

Chowdhury et al. report the discovery of a 19–45-Hz thalamic oscillation that is present during human wakefulness and REM sleep, but not NREM sleep.

Peripheral cancer inhibits amyloid pathology and rescues cognition of Alzheimer’s disease through secretion of cystatin-c (Cyst-C), which binds amyloid oligomers and activates TREM2 in microglia and enables microglia to degrade pre-existing plaques.
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, affecting roughly 50 million people around the world.
Researchers at Oxford are looking at how epilepsy can be prevented, diagnosed and treated ⬇️

Experts at Oxford are looking at how epilepsy can be prevented, diagnosed and treated, as well as promoting awareness of the condition to reduce stigma and improve quality of life for people with epil...
I don't know how many people see this when they look at trees during the winter, but mistletoe always reminds me of amyloid plaques - mistletoe is a parasite and each 'plaque' can vary in size. This is how I think of the 3D structure of amyloid plaques in the brain
New paper out in Current Biology.
We define thalamic head direction (HD) cells based on the combination of neurochemical identity, physiology, sensorimotor responses, and connectivity, suggesting cell types.
Great work led by Sara Hijazi and Shan Jiang from the lab.

Interesting paper with a good no. of thalamic recording sites. Really useful they have the pupil dynamics.
Only skim read, but would be useful to know sites of epilepsy and if these directly connect to central thalamus. What nuclei are likely ‘central thalamus’ - PVT, PT, ADn?
Any raw LFP data?
Thanks for sharing, these 'healthy' EEG recordings could indeed be related to the thalamic oscillations and good the author discussed muscle artifacts.
