Researchers have found new evidence that the basal ganglia and the cerebellum, two important areas in the central nervous system, are linked together to form an integrated functional network.

The substantia nigra is a motor nucleus located in the basal ganglia of the midbrain. This brain structure contributes to the body's cognitive and motor functions by sending signals to initiate or ...

‌Chorea is a movement disorder that stems from something wrong with the basal ganglia nerve structure deep in your brain. It causes involuntary movements of the hands, feet, and face. These movements ...

Researchers have applied a chemogenetic tool in macaque monkeys and suppressed the subthalamic nucleus, a part of the basal ganglia circuitry. The chemogenetic suppression induced unstable movements.

Basal Ganglia (Putamen) Intracerebral Hemorrhage. Axial CT scans. Note the large intracerebral hemorrhage originating in the area of the basal ganglia on the left. The basal ganglia is a common ...

Basal Ganglia Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH) with Extension into the Temporal Lobe: Axial CT scans. Note the large intracerebral hemorrhage originating in the area of the left posterior basal ganglia, ...

SNr neurons in the midbrain send precise signals to control movement. Their activity determines which movements actions are initiated or inhibited. Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate ...
