Reviewer #1 (Public review): Summary: Fallah and colleagues characterize the connectivity between two basal ganglia output nuclei, the SNr and GPe, and a the pedunculopontine nucleus, a brainstem ...

While the PPN interacts with all basal ganglia nuclei 3, 9, the inhibitory inputs from the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) and the globus pallidus externus (GPe) to the PPN are of particular ...

The basal ganglia consist of interconnected nuclei, which process the information received from different cortical and sub-cortical areas. A growing number of studies show that the role and anatomical ...

The Basal Ganglia (BG) are a group of nuclei, in the brain of mammalians and other vertebrates, strongly connected with the cerebral cortex, thalamus and other brain areas. The BG are associated with ...

Results and Discussion OCT was able to identify tissue types in rat basal ganglia nuclei and delineate their positions in real time, as shown in Figure 1. It also could identify striatal cells that ...

Basal ganglia articles from across Nature Portfolio The basal ganglia are a set of subcortical structures that interact with the cerebral cortex to regulate motor, cognitive and affective function ...

Hyperintensity on CT and increased signal intensity on T1-weighted MRI in basal ganglia are characteristic findings of patients with DS.Teenao It sould be noted that these abnormal findings in basal ...

OBJECTIVES AND METHODS Transcranial real time sonography (TCS) was applied to 49 patients with Huntington’s disease and 39 control subjects to visualise alterations in the echotexture of the basal ...

Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the number of calories your body needs to function. Knowing it allows you to figure out the calorie deficit needed for you to lose weight.

The spontaneous psychic akinesia was reversible when the patient was stimulated, as if there was a loss of self psychic activation. Intellectual capacities were normal. Two patients had stereotyped ...

Structural neuroimaging measures in HD historically emphasized the basal ganglia and have been demonstrated to be related to disease duration, magnitude of dementia, severity of movement disorder ...
