Psychiatric aspects of basal ganglia diseases. [PDF]

open access: yesPsychiatria Danubina, 2011
This review clarifies the fact that basal ganglia diseases are psychiatric as much as neurological diseases. It illustrates psychiatric aspects in Parkinson's disease and other hereditary basal ganglia diseases such as Wilson's disease, Huntington's chorea and others. In these diseases, psychological disorders can be difficult to diagnose, whether they

Basal ganglia role in learning rewarded actions and executing previously learned choices: Healthy and diseased states [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The basal ganglia (BG) is a collection of nuclei located deep beneath the cerebral cortex that is involved in learning and selection of rewarded actions. Here, we analyzed BG mechanisms that enable these functions.

Cerebral activations related to ballistic, stepwise interrupted and gradually modulated movements in parkinson patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience impaired initiation and inhibition of movements such as difficulty to start/stop walking. At single-joint level this is accompanied by reduced inhibition of antagonist muscle activity.

Neuroimaging of Basal Ganglia in Neurometabolic Diseases in Children [PDF]

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2020
Diseases primarily affecting the basal ganglia in children result in characteristic disturbances of movement and muscle tone. Both experimental and clinical evidence indicates that the basal ganglia also play a role in higher mental states. The basal ganglia can be affected by neurometabolic, degenerative diseases or other conditions from which they ...

Segmental aging underlies the development of a Parkinson phenotype in the AS/AGU rat [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
There is a paucity of information on the molecular biology of aging processes in the brain. We have used biomarkers of aging (SA β-Gal, p16Ink4a, Sirt5, Sirt6, and Sirt7) to demonstrate the presence of an accelerated aging phenotype across different ...

Lesch–Nyhan disease and the basal ganglia

open access: yesBrain Research Reviews, 2000
The purpose of this review is to summarize emerging evidence that the neurobehavioral features of Lesch-Nyhan disease (LND), a developmental disorder caused by congenital deficiency of the purine salvage enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT), may be attributable to dysfunction of the basal ganglia.
