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 ...

A major part of the basal ganglia, the striatum, is composed of a patchwork of two types of tissue: the striosome and the matrix. However, even though they were discovered three decades ago, ...

The striatum (in red) is located in the basal ganglia. The striatum contains D2-type (D2R) Dopamine receptors which make physical movement rewarding and spark the initial motivation to voluntarily ...

The basal ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei that have been linked to movement control since the end of the nineteenth century when David Ferrier concluded that the corpus striatum ...

Your basal ganglia know—so you can act accordingly. ... In humans these are sections or "nuclei" in the forebrain that include the striatum, shaped like a capital "C" written backwards, ...

A major part of the basal ganglia, the striatum, is composed of a patchwork of two types of tissue: the striosome and the matrix. However, even though they were discovered three decades ago, ...

A large number of computational models of information processing in the basal ganglia have been developed in recent years. Prominent in these are actor-critic models of basal ganglia functioning which ...

Now, using a novel system developed at Janelia, researchers led by the Dudman Lab found that a part of the basal ganglia ...

The striatum (in red) is located in the basal ganglia. The striatum contains D2-type (D2R) Dopamine receptors which make physical movement rewarding and spark the initial motivation to voluntarily ...

A pleasant surprise or a nasty shock is likely to be a memorable experience. For instance, if you touch a hot oven, you very quickly learn not to do it again. Learning by trial-and-error, which can ...
