The basal ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei involved in a variety of processes
including motor, cognitive and mnemonic functions. One of their major roles is to integrate …

Our understanding of the organization of the basal ganglia has advanced markedly over the
last 10 years, mainly due to increased knowledge of their anatomical, neurochemical and …

Recent anatomical, physiological and computer modeling studies have revealed that
oscillatory processes at the levels of single neurons and neuronal networks in the subthalamic …

The subthalamic nucleus–globus pallidus network plays a central role in basal ganglia function
and dysfunction. To determine whether the relationship between activity in this network …

A subpopulation of neurons in the globus pallidus projects to the neostriatum, which is the
major recipient of afferent information to the basal ganglia. Given the moderate nature of this …

Subthalamic neurons drive basal ganglia output neurons in resting animals and relay cortical
and thalamic activity to the same output neurons during movement. The first objective of …

The aim of the present study was to elucidate the organization of the interconnections between
the subthalamic nucleus and the two segments of the globus pallidus in squirrel monkeys…

One of the functions of the excitatory subthalamic nucleus (STN) is to relay cortical activity to
other basal ganglia structures. The response of the STN to cortical input is shaped by …

… Fast synaptic transmission was blocked by the continuous application of 50 μmd-(-)-2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic
acid (APV), 20 μm 6,7-dinitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (DNQX), and …

In order to clarify the origin and to examine the neurochemistry and synaptology of the
projection from the mesopontine tegmentum (MTg) to the subthalamic nucleus (STN), rats …
