Neuroimaging evidence enhances understanding of the subcortex’s role in the neural mechanisms of working memory updating, providing new insights into midbrain function.

The highest density Mr. Bolin tallied in the whale’s eye was about 180 retinal ganglia per square millimeter. Humans can have about 35 to 40,000 per square millimeter, while keen-eyed birds of ...

Using a novel system, researchers found that a part of the basal ganglia called the striatum is not involved in action selection as previously thought. Instead, the striatum and the motor cortex ...

Using a novel system, researchers at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus and collaborators found that a part of the basal ganglia called the striatum is not involved in action selection as previously ...

"Sensory and Motor Representations of Internalized Rhythms in the Cerebellum and Basal Ganglia." PNAS (First published: June 05, 2023) DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2221641120 ...

Summary: In a radical shift from the past 30 years of neuroscience, researchers have discovered that the basal ganglia, a crucial part of the brain involved in motor control and learning, plays a more ...

The effect of synaptic delay of Striatum region nerve cells in Basal Ganglia on the synchronization of cellular activity in Striatum and Thalamus regions was investigated. For this purpose, a detailed ...

Neuron vulnerability Huntington's disease leads to degeneration of brain structures called the basal ganglia, which are responsible for control of movement and also play roles in other behaviors ...

The SNpc is responsible for releasing dopamine to the striatum, another brain structure found within the basal ganglia. After receiving neurotransmitters from the SNpc, the striatum signals the ...

The basal ganglia receive signals from the cerebral cortex, which controls cognition, social behavior, and discerning which sensory information warrants attention.
