A) Outline of basal ganglia anatomy in a coronal human brain section. B) UMAP clustering of nuclei from 12 brains based on snRNA-seq data. C) Wiring diagram of basal ganglia circuitry. D) Normalized ...
Basal ganglia regions are located in the midbrain. Source: CLIPAREA l Custom media/Shutterstock Stuttering during childhood is a relatively common occurrence. Roughly one in 20 kids (5 percent) go ...
Researchers have applied a chemogenetic tool in macaque monkeys and suppressed the subthalamic nucleus, a part of the basal ganglia circuitry. The chemogenetic suppression induced unstable movements.
At each time in our life, we choose one or few behaviors, while suppressing many other behaviors. This is the basic mechanism in the basal ganglia, which is done by tonic inhibition and selective ...
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, Columbia University and the University of San Francisco, have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism by which dopamine, a key brain chemical vital for movement ...
Smooth movements require coordinated control of muscles. Even a simple reaching movement involves coordinated movements of his/her shoulder, arm, wrist and fingers, which are controlled by temporally ...
