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 ...
Basal ganglia are deep grey matter structures in the brain involved in the control of posture and voluntary movements, cognition, behaviour, and motivational states. Several conditions are known to ...
Most neuroscience studies investigating motor skills are carried out on rodents. In these experiments, rodents are typically tested on simple motor tasks that they can easily complete using motor ...
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 ...
The substantia nigra is a motor nucleus located in the basal ganglia of the midbrain. This brain structure contributes to the body's cognitive and motor functions by sending signals to initiate or ...
Basal Ganglia (Putamen) Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Axial CT scans. Note the large intracerebral hemorrhage originating in the area of the basal ganglia on the left. The basal ganglia is a common ...
