Dystonia involves involuntary muscle contractions, but you're not out of options. Discover how botulinum toxin, DBS, and ...

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

Neuroscientists can now make precise genetic tweaks to the neurons that are most affected by brain diseases such as Parkinson ...

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 ...

Scientists have taken looking for love to a whole new level, revealing that different types of love light up different parts of the brain. A recent study has mapped the brain’s response to different ...

The Authors recorded activity of neurons in key areas of the basal ganglia (SNr and striatum), and noticed that they can be divided into 4 types. I would like to thank the Authors for performing the ...

"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 ...
