Reduced blood supply is also found other areas: the corpus callosum, where it prevents information from passing easily between the two hemispheres; the basal nuclei and the striatum, which are ...

The cognitive impairment will gradually appear over time in Parkinson's patients, which is closely related to the basal ganglia-cortex network. This network contains two parallel circuits mediated by ...

This is required for the proper functioning of the basal ganglia system. The substantia nigra, which controls movement, is connected to the caudate nucleus and is also part of the basal ganglia.

Both the cerebellum and basal ganglia are involved in rhythm processing, but their specific roles remain unclear. During rhythm perception, these areas may be processing purely sensory information, or ...

Geva S, Jentschke S, Argyropoulos GPD, Chong WK, Gadian DG & Vargha-Khadem F (2020) Volume reduction of caudate nucleus is associated with movement coordination deficits in patients with hippocampal ...

The caudate nucleus (green) is a subcortical brain region located in the striatum. The striatum is one of several neural structures that make up the basal ganglia (colored regions) located below ...

At a lower threshold (P <.05), group differences were also found in the left caudate nucleus subcortically and greater portions of the right and left hemispheres cortically.

Recent work has implicated dopamine as a neurotransmitter in the basal ganglia of the mammalian brain ( 1 – 4). In addition, a variety of behavioral and pharmacological evidence supports the concept ...
