U.S., April 11 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06920992) titled 'Cognitive Control Functions of the Human Thalamus' on March 26.
Brief Summary: The goal of this research project is to investigate how brain lesions affect our ability to generate goal-directed behaviors - a cognitive function commonly referred to as cognitive control. To support goal-directed behaviors, the human brain must adaptively direct thoughts and actions depending on the current goals and contexts. Our principal hypothesis is that this cognitive capacity depends on a brain network architecture that can flexibly transmit, select, and inhibit information along neural pathways. Therefore, lesions and damages to critical brain...
