The GPh, a phylogenetically conserved non-motor output of the basal ganglia 6,7,8, excites the lateral habenula (LHb) that, in turn, drives inhibition onto dopamine neurons when an outcome is worse ...
This 3D illustration shows color-coded basal ganglia structures. These subcortical brain regions are located beneath the cerebrum's outermost layer of gray matter known as the cerebral cortex. Source: ...
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 ...
Astrocytes are important regulatory elements in brain function. They respond to neurotransmitters and release gliotransmitters that modulate synaptic transmission. However, the cell- and ...
Mapping the limbic and motor cortico-basal ganglia loops To land their findings, the researchers mapped the limbic and motor cortico-basal ganglia-thalamocortical loops in laboratory mice. They found ...
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 ...
November 17, 2008 (Baltimore, MD)—A study published today in the online advance edition of The American Journal of Psychiatry for the first time reveals shape differences in the brains of children ...
