The basal ganglia (BG) are the major subcortical nuclei in the brain. Disorders implicating
the BG are characterized by diverse symptoms, but it remains unclear what these symptoms …

The basal ganglia (BG) are a collection of subcortical nuclei critical for voluntary behavior.
According to the standard model, the output projections from the BG tonically inhibit …

The basal ganglia (BG) have long been implicated in both motor function and dysfunction. It
has been proposed that the BG form a centralized action selection circuit, resolving conflict …

Experiments performed in normal animals suggest that the basal ganglia (BG) are crucial in
motor program selection. BG are also involved in movement disorders. In particular, BG …

The basal ganglia (BG) have long been considered to play an important role in the control of
movement and the pathophysiology of movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease …

The basal ganglia consist of a variety of subcortical nuclei engaged in motor control and
executive functions, such as motor learning, behavioral control, and emotion. The striatum, a …

Abstract In this Scientific Perspectives we first review the recent advances in our
understanding of the functional architecture of basal ganglia circuits. Then we argue that …

The basal ganglia (BG) are implicated in many movement disorders, yet how they contribute
to movement remains unclear. Using wireless in vivo recording, we measured BG output …

Here we review a role of a basal ganglia–brainstem (BG–BS) system throughout the
mesopontine tegmentum in the control of various types of behavioral expression. First the …

The basal ganglia are a series of interconnected subcortical nuclei. The function and
dysfunction of these nuclei have been studied intensively in motor control, but more recently …
