This study aims to (i) compare volumes of individual basal ganglia nuclei (caudate nucleus, pallidum, and putamen) and the thalamus between very preterm (VP) and term-born infants at term-equivalent ...

Basal Ganglia (Putamen) Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Axial CT scans. Note the large intracerebral hemorrhage originating in the area of the basal ganglia on the right. If one looks closely at the ...

The substantia nigra is a motor nucleus located in the basal ganglia of the midbrain. This brain structure contributes to the body's cognitive and motor functions by sending signals to initiate or ...

Most of the tasks that humans complete daily entail carefully coordinating movements and tracking progress made toward a ...

Most neuroscience studies investigating motor skills are carried out on rodents. In these experiments, rodents are typically tested on simple motor tasks that they can easily complete using motor ...

Deep within each half of the brain lies the caudate nucleus. It’s responsible for processing visual information, movement, and memory. Dysfunction may cause conditions like dementia or Parkinson’s ...

‌Chorea is a movement disorder that stems from something wrong with the basal ganglia nerve structure deep in your brain. It causes involuntary movements of the hands, feet, and face. These movements ...
