The basal ganglia (BG) are a highly organized network, where different parts are activated for specific functions and circumstances. The BG are involved in movement control, as well as associative learning, planning, working memory, and emotion. We concentrate on the “motor circuit” because it is the best understood anatomically and physiologically, and because Parkinson's disease is mainly thought to be a movement disorder. Normal function of the BG requires fine tuning of neuronal… Expand

Functional neuroanatomy of the basal ganglia.
TLDR
A comprehensive account of basal ganglia functional anatomy and chemistry and the major pathophysiological changes underlying disorders of movement is provided. Expand
Mechanisms for pattern specificity of deep-brain stimulation in Parkinson’s disease
TLDR
It is found that the optimal ranges for the essential parameters of the stimulation patterns can be understood without taking into account biophysical details of the relevant structures. Expand
Changing Views of Basal Ganglia Circuits and Circuit Disorders
The basal ganglia (BG) have long been considered to play an important role in the control of movement and the pathophysiology of movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease (PD). Studies over the… Expand
Disrupted basal ganglia output during movement preparation in hemi-parkinsonian mice accounts for behavioral deficits
TLDR
It is suggested that parkinsonian changes in BG output underlying movement preparation contribute to the greater deficit in internally-specified than stimulus-guided movements, consistent with some aspects of the rate model. Expand
Neuroanatomy, Basal Ganglia
TLDR
The basal ganglia is a cluster of nuclei found deep to the neocortex of the brain that is primarily involved in motor control and is considered to be a gate-keeping mechanism for the initiation of motor movement. Expand
Value Encoding in the Globus Pallidus: fMRI reveals an interaction effect between reward and dopamine drive
TLDR
ROI-based fMRI analysis revealed an interaction between reward and dopamine drive manipulations, with increased BOLD activity in GPe in a high compared to low reward condition, and under risperidone compared to placebo, confirming the core prediction of the computational model and providing a new perspective on neural dynamics in the BG. Expand
Value encoding in the globus pallidus: fMRI reveals an interaction effect between reward and dopamine drive
TLDR
A proposed neural model that revisits the functions of the nuclei of the basal ganglia predicts that GPe encodes values which are amplified under a condition of low striatal dopaminergic drive, and these results confirm the core prediction of this computational model and provide a new perspective on neural dynamics in the BG.

The functional connectivity in the motor loop of human basal ganglia
TLDR
The present study with the motor cortico-BG loop centers supports the circling dynamic of the basal ganglia model in humans, showing that motor tasks may change the functional connectivity of these centers. Expand
Increased functional connectivity of thalamic subdivisions in patients with Parkinson’s disease
TLDR
It is demonstrated that PD is associated with increases in functional connectivity between motor subdivisions of the thalamus and the supplementary motor area, and between prefrontal thalamic subdivisions and nuclei of the basal ganglia, anterior and dorsolateral prefrontal cortices, as well as the anterior and paracingulate gyri.

The functions of the basal ganglia and the paradox of stereotaxic surgery in Parkinson's disease.
TLDR
It is concluded that the motor circuits of the basal ganglia are part of a distributed motor system which can operate, albeit imperfectly, in the absence of striato-pallido-thalamo-cortical feedback. Expand
Re-evaluation of the functional anatomy of the basal ganglia in normal and Parkinsonian states
TLDR
This article reviews recent data from different experimental approaches that challenge the established model of basal ganglia organization by reinterpreting the functional interaction between the external segment of the pallidum and the subthalamic nucleus in both the normal and pathological state.

TLDR
In this chapter, the functional significance of the 'hyperdirect' cortico-subthalamo-pallidal pathway is emphasized, and further a new dynamic model of basal ganglia function is presented. Expand
Dopamine Dependency of Oscillations between Subthalamic Nucleus and Pallidum in Parkinson's Disease
TLDR
Local potentials from the globus pallidus interna and subthalamic nucleus are recorded in four awake patients after neurosurgery for Parkinson's disease to demonstrate synchronization of activity does occur between pallidum and STN, and its pattern is critically dependent on the level of dopaminergic activity.

The functional anatomy of basal ganglia disorders
TLDR
A model in which specific types of basal ganglia disorders are associated with changes in the function of subpopulations of striatal projection neurons is proposed, which suggests that the activity of sub Populations of Striatal projections neurons is differentially regulated by striatal afferents and that different striatal projections may mediate different aspects of motor control.

Retrograde transneuronal transport of herpes simplex virus type 1 was used to examine the organization of connections in the cebus monkey between an output nucleus of the basal ganglia, the internal segment of the globus pallidus, and three cortical areas: the primary motor cortex, the supplementary motor ara, and the ventral premotor area.

The origin of motor fluctuations in Parkinson’s disease
TLDR
The severity of dopamine depletion and the consequent pathophysiologic changes that occur in basal ganglia circuits determine the severity of parkinsonian signs and treatments capable of providing and restoring more tonic and physiologic dopaminergic stimulation may avoid many of these abnormalities and lead to better clinical outcomes.

Metabolic effects of nigrostriatal denervation in basal ganglia
TLDR
In situ hybridization studies of cytochrome oxidase subunit I have confirmed the overactivity of the STN in the parkinsonian state and provided evidence that the change in STN activity is owing not only to decreased inhibition from the GPe but to hyperactivity of excitatory inputs from the parafascicular nucleus of the thalamus and the pedunculopontine nucleus in the brainstem.
