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 ...

Corticobasal degeneration is a progressive neurological disorder. When you have this disorder, you lose nerve cells and multiple areas of your brain shrink. This includes the cerebral cortex and the ...

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 ...

Corticobasal syndrome (CBS) is a form of atypical parkinsonism (a parkinsonism-plus syndrome), which means that it shares some features with Parkinson's disease such as slowness of movement ...

Okazaki, Japan – Parkinson’s disease is characterized by motor symptoms, such as trembling hands, muscle stiffness, and difficulty in initiation of movements, and it affects around 1% of people over ...

Different cortical areas are organized into distinct intracortical subnetworks. The manner in which descending pathways from the entire cortex interact subcortically as a network remains unclear. We ...

When a movement that has already been initiated must be suddenly stopped, a “hyperdirect” subthalamic nucleus pathway is called upon to override the primary motor control systems of the cerebral ...

Key points Fluent speech production relies on subcortical basal ganglia circuits synchronizing with cortical brain areas in the cerebral cortex. Anomalies in how the basal ganglia's neural circuitry ...
