The cluster of neurons known as the basal ganglia is a central hub for ... This includes a large set of brainstem regions with direct connections to the spinal cord and motor nuclei that control ...

This study aims to (i) compare volumes of individual basal ganglia nuclei (caudate nucleus, pallidum, and putamen) and the thalamus between very preterm (VP) and term-born infants at term ...

The basal ganglia sends information mainly to the thalamus, ... The nuclei feature a wide head that tapers into a body and a thin tail. They are curved and resemble the letter “C” in shape.

Specific populations of basal ganglia output neurons target distinct brain stem areas while collateralizing throughout the diencephalon. Neuron , 2021; DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2021.03.017 Cite This ...

The basal ganglia is a common location for intracerebral bleeds due to hypertension. This is one of the common sites of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Hemorrhages in this location typically ...

To complement the efforts to relate basal ganglia mechanisms to reinforcement learning, we introduce an alternative approach to modeling a critic network, which uses Evolutionary Computation ...

Basal ganglia calcification is when calcium deposits form in your brain. It can potentially cause a variety of neurological symptoms and can affect mood, perceptions, and behavior. The basal ...

You're most likely to get basal ganglia calcification between the ages of 30 and 60, though it can happen at any time. Most people who develop it are in good health before they find out they have it.

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, ...
