Functional anatomy of the basal ganglia. I. The cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical loop

Functional Architecture of the Rodent Substantia Nigra Pars Reticulata: Evidence for Segregated Channels

TLDR
C cumulative evidences in primate for a parallel arrangement of the transbasal ganglia pathways has led to the idea that basal ganglia maintain rather than mingle the functional heterogeneity of the cortical mantle.

TLDR
Four organizational levels of the basal ganglia that could be particularly determinant in terms of functional properties are reviewed and current models of thebasal ganglia are discussed.

Synaptic organisation of the basal ganglia

TLDR
It is concluded that the essential concept of the direct and indirect pathways of information flow through the basal ganglia remains intact but that the role of the indirect pathway is more complex than previously suggested and that neurons of the globus pallidus are in a position to control the activity of virtually the whole of the basalganglia.

Anatomical Relationships Between the Prefrontal Cortex and the Basal Ganglia in the Rat

TLDR
The results of more recent studies and a reinterpretation of the older data led to the conclusion that, instead of “funneling,” the basic principle of the cortico-basal ganglia relationships is a parallel organization of connections from the (pre)frontal cortex through the basal ganglia and the thalamus back to the ( pre) frontal cortex.

Parallel organization of functionally segregated circuits linking basal ganglia and cortex.

TLDR
The basal ganglia serve primarily to integrate diverse inputs from the entire cerebral cortex and to "funnel" these influences, via the ventrolateral thalamus, to the motor cortex.

TLDR
Cytoarchitectonic atlas plates of the Macaca mulatta thalamus are presented in the sagittal plane of section with a revised nomenclature of the motor thalamic region based on the analysis of topographical relationships between nigral, pallidal, and cerebellar projections to theThalamus studied in 13 rhesus monkeys with the use of autoradiography technique.

Longitudinal topography and interdigitation of corticostriatal projections in the rhesus monkey

TLDR
The present findings suggest a new conceptualization of corticostriatal topography in the primate which emphasizes the longitudinal arrangement of cortical terminal domains, and provide a map for functional parcellation of the neostriatum on the basis of its cortical innervation.

TLDR
The distribution of labeled neurons following single injections of HRP into different regions of the motor cortex arm area indicated that the VL arm area is topographically organized, particularly its caudal part.
