Study links thalamus inhibition in adolescence to long-lasting cortical abnormalities: Boosting thalamic activity could help treat cognitive symptoms in schizophrenia related to altered prefrontal cortex function - Science Daily

Researchers have reported new evidence that cognitive abnormalities seen in neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia may be traceable to altered activity in the thalamus during adolescence, a time window of heightened vulnerability for schizophrenia.
