The nucleus accumbens is a major input structure of the basal ganglia and integrates
information from cortical and limbic structures to mediate goal-directed behaviors. Chronic …

The basal ganglia are subcortical nuclei controlling voluntary actions and have been
implicated in Parkinson's disease (PD). The prevailing model of basal ganglia function …

The “basal ganglia” refers to a group of subcortical nuclei responsible primarily for motor
control, as well as other roles such as motor learning, executive functions and behaviors …

The elderly population is growing worldwide, with important health and socioeconomic
implications. Clinical and experimental studies on aging have uncovered numerous …

Striatal locally projecting neurons, or interneurons, act on nearby circuits and shape
functional output to the rest of the basal ganglia. We performed single-cell RNA sequencing …

It is now nearly 5 years since the last of the currently recognised 5-HT receptors was
identified in terms of its cDNA sequence. Over this period, much effort has been directed …

Many of the brain's reward systems converge on the nucleus accumbens, a region richly
innervated by excitatory, inhibitory, and modulatory afferents representing the circuitry …

The dorsal striatum, which consists of the caudate and putamen, is the gateway to the basal
ganglia. It receives convergent excitatory afferents from cortex and thalamus and forms the …

The present edition of The Human Central Nervous System differs considerably from its
predecessors. In previous editions, the text was essentially confined to a section dealing …

Physiological, morphological and immunohistochemical characteristics of non-pyramidal
cells in frontal cortex of young rats were studied in vitro by whole-cell recording and biocytin …
