The basal ganglia comprise several nuclei in the forebrain, diencephalon, and midbrain
thought to play a significant role in the control of posture and movement. It is well recognized …

The traditional view that the basal ganglia and cerebellum are simply involved in the control
of movement has been challenged in recent years. One of the pivotal reasons for this …

Our understanding of the organization of the basal ganglia has advanced markedly over the
last 10 years, mainly due to increased knowledge of their anatomical, neurochemical and …

The possibility that neurons in the basal ganglia and cerebellum innervate areas of the
cerebral cortex that are involved in cognitive function has been a controversial subject. Here …

The roles of the basal ganglia (BG) in motor control are much debated. Many influential
hypotheses have grown from studies in which output signals of the BG were not blocked, but …

The traditional view that the basal ganglia are simply involved in the control of movement
has been challenged in recent years. Three lines of evidence indicate that the basal ganglia …

One of the most intriguing and controversial observations in oculomotor research in recent
years is the phenomenon of express saccades in monkeys and man. These are saccades …

The basal ganglia play a role in controlling movement. The motor circuits within the striato-
pallidal complex are thought to facilitate desired movement and inhibit unwanted movement …

How the motor-related cortical areas modulate the activity of the output nuclei of the basal
ganglia is an important issue for understanding the mechanisms of motor control by the …

Addiction is a chronic, relapsing disorder, characterised by the long-term propensity of
addicted individuals to relapse. A major factor that obstructs the attainment of abstinence is …
