The caudate nucleus contributes causally to decisions that balance reward and uncertain visual information. [PDF]
Elife, 2020 Our decisions often balance what we observe and what we desire. A prime candidate for implementing this complex balancing act is the basal ganglia pathway, but its roles have not yet been examined experimentally in detail.

Differential effects of fornix and caudate nucleus lesions on two radial maze tasks: evidence for multiple memory systems [PDF]
Journal of Neuroscience, 1989 The present experiments were designed to examine the hypothesis that the mammalian brain contains anatomically distinct memory systems. Rats with bilateral lesions of caudate nucleus or fimbria-fornix and a control group were tested postoperatively on 1 ...

Caudate nucleus signals for breaches of expectation in a movement observation paradigm
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2011 The striatum has been established as a carrier of reward related prediction errors. This prediction error signal concerns the difference between how much reward was predicted and how much reward is gained.

Saccade Suppression by Electrical Microstimulation in Monkey Caudate Nucleus [PDF]
Journal of Neuroscience, 2010 It has been suggested that the caudate nucleus, the input stage of the basal ganglia, facilitates and suppresses saccade initiation based on its anatomical characteristics.

Upregulation of cathepsin D in the caudate nucleus of primates with experimental parkinsonism
Molecular Neurodegeneration, 2011 Background In Parkinson's disease there is progressive loss of dopamine containing neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The neuronal damage is not limited to the substantia nigra but progresses to other regions of brain, leading to loss of ...

Control of response interference: caudate nucleus contributes to selective inhibition. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 While the role of cortical regions in cognitive control processes is well accepted, the contribution of subcortical structures (e.g., the striatum), especially to the control of response interference, remains controversial.

Monosodium Glutamate Treatment Elevates the Immunoreactivity of GFAP and S100β in Caudate Nucleus of the Striatum in Rats. [PDF]
BiomedicinesBackground Monosodium glutamate (MSG) in its anionic form, glutamate, is one of the main excitatory amino acids. Excess of this neurotransmitter may lead to excitotoxicity affecting neurons and astrocytes responsible for glutamate metabolism in different

Human caudate nucleus subdivisions in tinnitus modulation. [PDF]
J Neurosurg, 2020 OBJECTIVEThe object of this study was to define caudate nucleus locations responsive to intraoperative direct electrical stimulation for tinnitus loudness modulation and relate those locations to functional connectivity maps between caudate nucleus ...
