Compensatory mechanisms in Parkinson's disease: circuits adaptations and role in disease modification
The motor features of Parkinson's disease (PD) are well known to manifest only when striatal
dopaminergic deficit reaches 60–70%. Thus, PD has a long pre-symptomatic and pre-motor …

Functional anatomy of the basal ganglia. II. The place of subthalamic nucleus and external pallidium in basal ganglia circuitry
A Parent, LN Hazrati - Brain research reviews, 1995 - Elsevier
The subthalamic nucleus and the external pallidum (GPe) are classically viewed as part of
the so-called indirect pathway, which acts in concert with the direct pathway. The direct and …

The subthalamic nucleus in the context of movement disorders
The subthalamic nucleus (STN) has been regarded as an important modulator of basal
ganglia output. It receives its major afferents from the cerebral cortex, thalamus, globus …

Diffusion tensor fiber tracking shows distinct corticostriatal circuits in humans
A landmark of corticostriatal connectivity in nonhuman primates is that cortical connections
are organized into a set of discrete circuits. Each circuit is assumed to perform distinct …
