Absence seizures: Update on signaling mechanisms and networks

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Absence seizures (AS) are a hallmark of genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), characterized by brief episodes of impaired consciousness accompanied by electroencephalographic spike‐and‐wave discharges (SWDs). Traditionally attributed to cortico‐thalamo‐cortical (CTC) dysrhythmia, emerging evidence suggests a more intricate pathophysiological ...

The Influence of Schwann Cell Metabolism and Dysfunction on Axon Maintenance

open access: yesGlia, EarlyView.
Sensory neurons depend on Schwann cells for survival. Schwann cells provide energy for axons during rapid firing or after injury. Dysregulated metabolism in Schwann cells can lead to the production of neurotoxic lipids and axon degeneration. ABSTRACT Schwann cells are the glial cells in the peripheral nervous system responsible for the production of ...

The basal ganglia

WIREs Cognitive Science, 2012
AbstractThrough its connections with widespread cortical areas and with dopaminergic midbrain areas, the basal ganglia are well situated to integrate patterns of cortical input with the dopaminergic reward signal originating in the midbrain. In this review, we consider the functions of the basal ganglia in relation to its gross and cellular anatomy ...

What, If, and When to Move: Basal Ganglia Circuits and Self-Paced Action Initiation.

Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2019
Deciding what to do and when to move is vital to our survival. Clinical and fundamental studies have identified basal ganglia circuits as critical for this process.

The neuropsychology of basal ganglia

European Journal of Paediatric Neurology, 2018
Basal ganglia are subcortical structures specialized at very early age, functionally different according to the right or left side. They are part of complex distributed network composed by parallel segregated loops where specific information are processed and open loops where different information are integrated.

Functional Anatomy of Basal Ganglia Circuits with the Cerebral Cortex and the Cerebellum.

Progress in neurological surgery, 2018
The neural connections of the basal ganglia provide important insights into their function. Here, we discuss the current perspective on basal ganglia connections with the cerebral cortex and with the cerebellum.

Basal ganglia macrocircuits

2007
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 ...

The Basal Ganglia

2021
For a considerable time, the basal ganglia were thought to be primarily concerned with movement and balance, and therefore were not considered to have the same importance in research in psychiatric disorders in the same manner that other brain regions were.

The basal ganglia

1987
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

2009
The basal ganglia is part of a neuronal system that includes the thalamus, the cerebellum, and the frontal lobes (Thach, 1980). Like the cerebellum, the basal ganglia was previously thought to be primarily involved in motor control. However, recently there has been much written about the role of the basal ganglia in motor and cognitive functions ...
