The dorsal striatum is a large forebrain region involved in action initiation, timing, control,
learning and memory. Learning and remembering skilled movement sequences requires the …

Because of our limited knowledge of the functional role of the thalamostriatal system, this
massive network is often ignored in models of the pathophysiology of brain disorders of …

Cortico-striatal projections are critical components of forebrain circuitry that regulate
motivated behaviors. To enable the study of the human cortico-striatal pathway and how its …

Objective: Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs) constitute severe, incapacitating symptoms
of schizophrenia. Despite increasing interest in the functional exploration of AVHs, the …

The thalamic parafascicular nucleus (PF), an excitatory input to the basal ganglia, is targeted
with deep-brain stimulation to alleviate a range of neuropsychiatric symptoms. Furthermore …

The striatum is an input structure of the basal ganglia implicated in several time-dependent
functions including reinforcement learning, decision making, and interval timing. To …

Detailed observations of transcriptional, translational and post-translational events in the
human brain are essential to improving our understanding of its development, function and …

Objective To determine the relationship between brain abnormalities on newborn magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) and neurodevelopmental impairment at 7 years of age in very …

The basal ganglia are a subcortical collection of interacting clusters of cell bodies, and are
involved in reward, emotional, and motor circuits. Within all the brain processing necessary …

Basal ganglia circuits are affected in neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease
(PD), essential tremor, dystonia and Tourette syndrome. Understanding the structural and …
