Nolte (2002) The Human Brain, 5th Edition! Basal Ganglia Nomenclature Corpus Nucleus accumbens Striatum or striatum Caudate Lenticular Putamen Neostriatum nucleus Globus pallidus Subthalamic nucleus Substantia nigra (Ventral Tegmental Area) Basal Ganglia How the striatum got its name… Basal ganglia have motor and nonmotor functions Basal Ganglia Afferents Basal Ganglia Efferents Basal Ganglia Intrinsic Connections Functions Direct Pathway: select appropriate movements Indirect Pathway: inhibit inappropriate movements Direct Pathway Direct Pathway excites motor cortex E I I Cortex à striatum à GPint à thalamus +1 x –1 x –1 = +1 Direct and Indirect Pathways Direct Pathway excites motor cortex Indirect Pathway inhibits motor cortex Indirect Pathway E I I E I Cortex à striatum à GPext à Subthalamic Nucleus à GPint à thalamus +1 x –1 x –1 x +1 x –1 = –1 Direct and Indirect Pathways Functions of Basal Ganglia 1. Enable automatic performance of practiced motor acts 2. Gating the initiation of voluntary movements by modulating motor programs stored in the motor cortex 3. Cognitive functions Action Zones Aflalo & Graziano, Neuron, 2007 Functions of Basal Ganglia 1. Enable automatic performance of practiced motor acts 2. Gating the initiation of voluntary movements by modulating motor programs stored in the motor cortex 3. Cognitive functions Role of the basal ganglia in exciting one motor program via direct pathway and inhibiting competing programs via indirect pathway Dopamine neurons of substantia nigra signal unexpected reward or unexpected absence of reward Dopaminergic Input from Substantia Nigra Functions of Basal Ganglia 1.
