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 t...

A systematic review and meta-analysis in Nature Human Behaviour shows that people discern true from false news with ease. When making mistakes, people err on the side of skepticism and rate true news as false, instead of being fooled by false news.
