A large number of computational models of information processing in the basal ganglia have been developed in recent years. Prominent in these are actor-critic models ...

From a study that analyzed brain images of more than 2,500 people with Parkinson's disease in 20 different countries, ...

Activation in the basal ganglia occurred early, and was uniquely associated with encoding time intervals, whereas cerebellar activation unfolded late, suggesting an involvement in processes other ...

When I asked an online Perth mums’ group if it they’d ever forgotten their baby in the car, I was shocked by the number of ...

On page 760, a leading group of basal ganglia researchers present a revision of the standard model of the architecture of this group of nuclei, based on anatomical, functional and clinical data.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has struggled for decades with a rare disorder affecting his speech, causing his voice to sound strained and raspy when he speaks.

However, the intricate interplay between this steering mechanism and other brain regions, such as the basal ganglia, remained elusive until now. "We have now discovered a new group of neurons in ...

The neurological condition can cause people like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to have voices that break and can sound “strangled.” ...

It’s the third most common movement disorder behind essential tremor and Parkinson’s disease. Dystonia is thought to begin in the part of the brain called the basal ganglia that controls how muscles ...

Researchers are looking at the basal ganglia, which helps to regulate movement; the cerebellum, which helps to control balance; along with the cortex which initiates movement and senses sensation.

Propranolol reduces Parkinson’s tremor and motor cortex activity, suggesting a new therapeutic approach beyond stress ...
