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

Basal ganglia articles from across Nature Portfolio The basal ganglia are a set of subcortical structures that interact with the cerebral cortex to regulate motor, cognitive and affective function ...

Note the large enhancing mass involving the right frontal lobe and the basal ganglia (especially the caudate) with surrounding edema. Biopsy demonstrated lymphoma. Primary central nervous system ...

In non-human primate (NHP) studies to date, a single IV infusion of CAP-003 resulted in dose-dependent increases in GCase activity in critical brain regions including the substantia nigra, frontal ...
