The “basal ganglia” refers to a group of subcortical nuclei responsible primarily for motor
control, as well as other roles such as motor learning, executive functions and behaviors …

The basal ganglia (BG) are a highly organized network, where different parts are activated
for specific functions and circumstances. The BG are involved in movement control, as well …

The motor signs of Parkinson's disease are thought to result in large part from a reduction of
the level of dopamine in the basal ganglia. Over the last few years, many of the functional …

Beta oscillations in cortical-basal ganglia (BG) circuits have been implicated in normal
movement suppression and motor impairment in Parkinson's disease. To dissect the …

The pathophysiology of Parkinson's disease is reviewed in light of recent advances in the
understanding of the functional organization of the basal ganglia (BG). Current emphasis is …

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 …

The basal ganglia are often conceptualised as three parallel domains that include all the
constituent nuclei. The 'ventral domain'appears to be critical for learning flexible behaviours …

A substantial body of work within the last decade has demonstrated that there is a variety of
oscillatory phenomena that occur in the basal ganglia and in associated regions of the …

The striatum receives major excitatory inputs from the cortex and thalamus that
predominantly target the spines of medium-sized spiny neurons (MSNs). We aimed to …

The basal ganglia (BG) are critical for the coordination of several motor, cognitive, and
emotional functions and become dysfunctional in several pathological states ranging from …
