Extrastriatal dopaminergic circuits of the basal ganglia [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2010 The basal ganglia are comprised of the striatum, the external and internal segment of the globus pallidus (GPe and GPi, respectively), the subthalamic nucleus (STN), and the substantia nigra pars compacta and reticulata (SNc and SNr, respectively ...

Optimized AAV capsids for basal ganglia diseases show robust potency and distribution [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsHuntington’s disease and other disorders of the basal ganglia create challenges for biomolecule-based medicines given the poor accessibility of these deep brain structures following intracerebral or intravascular delivery.

A case report of Fahr’s disease presenting with cerebellar ataxia [PDF]
Journal of Research in Clinical Medicine, 2023 Fahr’s disease is a rare condition characterized by the symmetrical calcification of basal ganglia and dentate nuclei of the cerebellum calcification. It is usually manifested by involuntary movements and psychiatric symptoms. Ataxia has been reported as

Diagnostic Evaluation of 99mTc-TRODAT-1 SPECT in Parkinsonism [PDF]
Journal of Research in Clinical Medicine, 2021 Background Parkinsonism as a group of movement disorders, exhibit similar clinical presentation. Therefore, clinically differentiating these diseases is difficult. We investigated the diagnostic value of 99m Tc-TRODAT-1 SPECT in this setting.

The Role of Vitamin D in Basal Ganglia Diseases
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2022 Objective: Vitamin D (VitD) has been shown to influence several cellular processes in the brain. The extent to which VitD plays a role in the pathomechanism of neuronal loss and dysfunction in basal ganglia diseases (BGDs) is still debated.

Neuroimaging of Basal Ganglia in Neurometabolic Diseases in Children
Brain 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.

Basal ganglia for beginners: the basic concepts you need to know and their role in movement control
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2023 The basal ganglia are a subcortical collection of interacting clusters of cell bodies, and are involved in reward, emotional, and motor circuits. Within all the brain processing necessary to carry out voluntary movement, the basal nuclei are fundamental,

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