Human high-order thalamic nuclei gate conscious perception through the thalamofrontal loop Human high-order thalamic nuclei activity is known to closely correlate with conscious states. However, it is not clear how those thalamic nuclei and thalamocortical interactions directly contribute to the transient process of human conscious perception...

Jay Bhattacharya, the newly-confirmed director of the NIH, during his confirmation hearing on March 5, 2025. The text reads, “The Sick Times. RECOVER grants for Long COVID pathobiology research are among those cut under new NIH directive. By Betsy Ladyzhets and Miles W. Griffis.”

If we can’t make progress towards better understanding and treatment of post-COVID conditions, as a society we will face major societal repercussions. These conditions cannot just be canceled and ignored. - Mitchell Miglis

RECOVER grants for #LongCOVID pathobiology studies were among those rescinded under a new NIH directive this week. While other aspects of the NIH RECOVER program continue operating, scientists and advocates say Long COVID research is broadly under threat from the Trump administration. bit.ly/4hQXeYY
