An important achievement in the quest to bridge cellular and integrative neuroscience has been the development of an understanding of the basal ganglia motor circuit, how activity in this circuit ...

Several lines of evidence suggest that cortical–basal ganglia circuits contribute to the selection and sequencing of behaviour during the learning and performance of motor skills. Disorders of ...

The basal ganglia send projections to control circuits in the brainstem and, receive inputs from thalamus and cortex, which in turn receive inputs from the brainstem, cerebellum and other ...

and succeed in selective elimination of the "hyperdirect pathway" that is one of the major circuits connecting the motor cortex to the basal ganglia. As a result, they have discovered that ...

Additional evidence that the circuits for learning motor implementation and timing are distinct came when researchers lesioned the basal ganglia of the birds—the region of the brain long thought ...

the researchers mapped the limbic and motor cortico-basal ganglia-thalamocortical loops in laboratory mice. They found that a unidirectional influence of the limbic circuit over the motor loop ...

Cortical-basal ganglia circuitry is key for learning motor skills, particularly those ... in some neurons within this cortico-basal ganglia circuit and a decrease in activity in others.

With the detailed circuit map ... fact that specific basal ganglia output neurons project to specific downstream brain nuclei but also broadcast this information to higher motor centers has ...

Stuttering Starts at Speech Initiation, Not Due to Impaired Motor Skills] Frank Guenther ... activity in particular parts of the basal ganglia circuit.

This area in the middle of the brain is involved in motor control and learning ... song birds because they have a cortical-basal ganglia circuit that is specific for singing.

Classically, this network is conceptualized to contain three information channels: motor ... “We identified smaller circuits within the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic loop that process ...

and succeed in selective elimination of the "hyperdirect pathway" that is one of the major circuits connecting the motor cortex to the basal ganglia. As a result, they have discovered that ...
