The basal ganglia are a highly interconnected set of subcortical nuclei and major atrophy in
one or more regions may have major effects on other regions of the brain. Therefore, the …

The synucleinopathy sporadic Parkinson's disease (sPD) is the second most frequent
degenerative disorder of the human nervous system after Alzheimer's disease. The …

The past decade has witnessed an enormous increase in our knowledge of the variety and
complexity of neuropathological and neurochemical changes in Alzheimer's disease …

Striatal cholinergic interneurons (ChIs) are central for the processing and reinforcement of
reward‐related behaviors that are negatively affected in states of altered dopamine …

This study compares the basal ganglia of rats, marmosets, macaques, baboons, and
humans. It uses established protocols to estimate the volume and number of neurons within …

The striatum of the human brain has a highly differentiated neurochemical architecture
visible in stains for many of the neurotransmitter‐related molecules present in the striatum …

This paper reviews the major anatomical and chemical features of the various types of
interneurons in the human striatum, as detected by immunostaining procedures applied to …

The basal ganglia and cortex work in concert to orchestrate and execute planned behaviors.
Historically, the basal ganglia are best known for their motor functions. This association was …

The basal forebrain, long considered so forbiddingly indecipherable as to be inappropriately
referred to as a 'substantia innominata', a sort of neurological equivalent of the geographer's …

Because our knowledge of cholinergic systems in the brains of amphibians is limited, the
present study aimed to provide detailed information on the distribution of cholinergic cell …
