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.

Fahr’s Syndrome and Pseudohypoparathyroidism- A rare clinical entity
Sri Lanka Journal of Diabetes Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2020 Physiological intracranial calcification occurs in about 0.3-1.5% of cases. It is asymptomatic and detected incidentally by neuroimaging. Pathological basal ganglia calcification is due to various causes, such as: metabolic disorders, infectious and ...

The cryptic gonadotropin-releasing hormone neuronal system of human basal ganglia
eLife, 2021 Human reproduction is controlled by ~2000 hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons. Here, we report the discovery and characterization of additional ~150,000–200,000 GnRH-synthesizing cells in the human basal ganglia and basal forebrain.

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

Pathological regional blood flow in opiate-dependent patients during withdrawal: A HMPAO-SPECT study [PDF]
, 1998 The aims of the present study were to investigate regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) in heroin-dependent patients during withdrawal and to assess the relation between these changes and duration of heroin consumption and withdrawal data.
