Calcification of the basal ganglia
2007Publisher Summary Calcification of the basal ganglia (BG) occurs in many contexts, ranging from incidental findings to disorders of mineral metabolism, and familial forms of cerebral calcinosis. Bilateral striopallidodentate calcinosis (BSPDC), commonly known as Fahr's disease is an idiopathic, familial form of calcification of the BG presented as a ...

The basal ganglia in haemochromatosis
Neuroradiology, 2000Haemochromatosis is characterised by deposition of iron-containing pigment in various organs, but little is known about possible deposition in the brain and its clinical impact. We therefore investigated 14 patients with hereditary haemochromatosis with MRI, CT and transcranial ultrasound (TCS) and examined them neurologically.

At one time, the term ‘basal ganglia’ was used to describe all the large nuclear masses in the interior of the brain, including the thalamus. Gradually, its use has become restricted to five closely related nuclei: caudate, putamen, globus pallidus, subthalamic nucleus and sustantia nigra (Figure 10.1).

The basal ganglia are associated with motor functions of the brain, although it is becoming clear that they may subserve many nonmotor functions as well. A review of the literature reveals an association between the basal ganglia and pain, and raises the question of a new function for the basal ganglia in selective attention.

The connectome of the basal ganglia
Brain Structure and Function, 2014The basal ganglia of the laboratory rat consist of a few core regions that are specifically interconnected by efferents and afferents of the central nervous system. In nearly 800 reports of tract-tracing investigations the connectivity of the basal ganglia is documented. The readout of connectivity data and the collation of all the connections of these

Fatigue is a common symptom in neurology and occurs in the diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system. In order to understand the mechanism of fatigue, it is important to distinguish symptoms of peripheral neuromuscular fatigue from the symptoms of physical and mental fatigue characteristic of disorders like Parkinson's disease or multiple ...

This is the introductory chapter to an edited volume comprising 18 chapters written by 38 specially selected authors covering the anatomy, physiology, biochemistry/pharmacology and behavioral aspects of GABA in the basal ganglia. In this chapter the various nuclei of the basal ganglia are defined and their cellular structure, connections and function ...

NEUROANATOMY OF THE BASAL GANGLIA
Psychiatric Clinics of North America, 1997This article deals with the neuroanatomic aspects of the basal ganglia with regard to different neurotransmitter systems and to different diseases. A general scheme of these circuits with the overall distinction between limbic-associative and motor components and circuits is presented.

Distinct basal ganglia hyperechogenicity in idiopathic basal ganglia calcification
Movement Disorders, 2010AbstractWe report a 67‐year‐old patient with idiopathic basal ganglia calcification (IBGC). He presented with progressive cognitive impairment, frontal lobe dysfunction, mild leg spasticity, and levodopa (L‐dopa)‐responsive parkinsonism. Transcranial sonography (TCS) revealed marked hyperechogenicity of the basal ganglia and periventricular spaces ...

Neurochemical Oscillations in the Basal Ganglia
Bulletin of Mathematical Biology, 2009This work represents an attempt to elucidate the neurochemical processes in the basal ganglia by mathematical modelling. The correlation between neurochemistry and electrophysiology has been used to construct a dynamical system based on the basal ganglia's network structure.
