An important achievement in the quest to bridge cellular and integrative neuroscience has been the development of an understanding of the basal ganglia motor circuit, how activity in this circuit ...

Actions are not mediated solely by cortical processes but rely on communication within basal ganglia-thalamocortical loops. Speech is one example, although how the basal ganglia participate in this ...

The basal ganglia play a critical role in regulating movement, cognitive functions and emotional processing. Disruptions within these subcortical nuclei are increasingly attributed to defects in ...

Basal ganglia calcification is a very rare condition that happens when calcium builds up in your brain, usually in the basal ganglia, the part of your brain that helps control movement. Other parts of ...
