How ‘Basal' Are the Basal Ganglia? [PDF]
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2013 years ago [Erwin et al., 2011], did not merely have a substantial rostral brain, but specifically a telencephalon, an elaborate set of forebrain structures hitherto recognized only in vertebrates. The set of structures that Strausfeld and Hirth [2013a] identify as the arthropod homolog of the basal ganglia is the central complex, a group of median ...

Potential mechanisms for imperfect synchronization in parkinsonian basal ganglia [PDF]
, 2012 Neural activity in the brain of parkinsonian patients is characterized by the intermittently synchronized oscillatory dynamics. This imperfect synchronization, observed in the beta frequency band, is believed to be related to the hypokinetic motor ...

Saccade learning with concurrent cortical and subcortical basal ganglia loops [PDF]
, 2013 The Basal Ganglia is a central structure involved in multiple cortical and subcortical loops. Some of these loops are believed to be responsible for saccade target selection.

Integration of navigation and action selection functionalities in a computational model of cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical loops [PDF]
, 2005 This article describes a biomimetic control architecture affording an animat both action selection and navigation functionalities. It satisfies the survival constraint of an artificial metabolism and supports several complementary navigation strategies ...

Basal ganglia calcifications (Fahr’s syndrome): related conditions and clinical features
Neurological Sciences, 2019 Basal ganglia calcifications could be incidental findings up to 20% of asymptomatic patients undergoing CT or MRI scan. The presence of neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with bilateral basal ganglia calcifications (which could occur in other peculiar ...

Disrupted basal ganglia—thalamocortical loops in focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures
bioRxiv, 2019 Focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures are associated with lower quality of life, higher risk of seizure-related injuries, increased chance of sudden unexpected death, as well as unfavorable treatment outcomes.
