 | | These functional circuits provide a conceptual framework for relating subregions of the basal ganglia to specific aspects of behavior, much as cytoarchitecturally defined cortical areas are defined. | | | CONCLUSIONS Balanced opposition in the cortically driven activity of striatopallidal and striatonigral pathways is proposed to underlie the complex manner in which the basal ganglia affect behavior. | | | The basal ganglia provide a major neural system through which the cortex effects behavior. |

| | The [basal ganglia's] putamen is mainly connected to the premotor and motor cortex and overactivity [i.e., oversupply of dopamine] in this pathway is thought to account for the physical tics in Tourette's syndrome" (Carter 1998:67). | | | Less skilled, e.g., than the neocortex's primary motor area, the basal ganglia control basic movements such as the human arm-swing. | | | In early reptiles, the basal ganglia's archistriatum (i.e., the "most ancient" striatum, or amygdala) and paleostriatum (i.e., the [merely] "ancient" striatum, or globus pallidus) evolved to show identity, power, and submission through programmed movements and postural displays (see ANTIGRAVITY SIGN, CROUCH). |

| | Basal Ganglia Disorders (Disorders Affecting the Basal Ganglia) |
| | The basal ganglia are groups of structures within the brain that help with movement. | | | The basal ganglia are also thought to play a role in thinking and emotions. | | | One of the main jobs of these structures is to help with movement. |

| | Diseases of the Basal Ganglia |
| | The ``theme'' of diseases affecting the basal ganglia appears to be that the balance between the two major pathways is disturbed: the result is either involuntary movements or impairments to motion. | | | As with brain research generally, much of what is known about the basal ganglia comes from studying diseases which affect them. | | | As one might expect from their opposing neural behavior, Huntington's disease results in hyperkineticity, the opposite of the hypokineticity of PD. |

| | How the Basal Ganglia Make Decisions |
| | The basal ganglia are a collection of subcortical structures whose anatomy and physiology have been characterized in great detail. | | | Despite a large amount of data regarding their anatomy and physiology, the role of the basal ganglia in both action planning and decision making remains enigmatic. | | | Postulating that a diffuse neurotransmitter such as dopamine facilitates the change of synaptic strengths, they then demonstrated a plausible mechanism by which extrinsic rewards and penalties could be translated into the learning of specific behaviors. |

| | The relationships between the nuclei of the basal ganglia are by no means completely understood. | | | The anatomy of these structures should be a review from the "coronal and horizontal sections" lab. | | | The balance between these two systems allows for smooth, coordinated movement, and a disturbance in either system will show up as movement disorders. |

| | The inhibitory direct pathway projects monosynaptically from the putamen to the motor regions of the internal globus pallidus and the substantia nigra pars reniculata [84]. | | | There are two major pathways through the basal ganglia, arising from different cellular populations of the putamen. | | | The external section of the globulus pallidus passes information within the basal ganglia, in particular to the subthalamic nucleus. |

| | Basal Ganglia |
| | The basal ganglia are involved with voluntary limb movement, eye movement, and cognition. | | | We have focused upon how the basal ganglia are involved in motor control, and have thus developed models of basal ganglia in the performance of saccades and arm movements. | | | Our models are based upon the hypothesis that the basal ganglia inhibit competing motor programs and provide next sensory state information back to cortex; this is particularly important for sequential movements, activities to which the basal ganglia are known to contribute. |
