The evolutionary origin of the vertebrate basal ganglia and its role in action selection

Data is presented showing that the structure and function of the basal ganglia have been conserved throughout vertebrate evolution over some 560 million years, as well as the interaction between the different nuclei within the basal Ganglia is conserved aswell as the cellular and synaptic properties and transmitters.

Non-motor function of the midbrain dopaminergic neurons.

The roles of the nigrostriatal pathway are far beyond the simple control of motor functions, and the abnormal and improper association of units leads to the initiation of unpurposeful and sometimes repetitive actions, as those observed in dyskinetic patients.

The basal ganglia can control learned motor sequences independently of motor cortex

Understanding of basal ganglia function is extended, by suggesting that they can control and modulate lower-level subcortical motor circuits on a moment-by-moment basis to generate stereotyped learned motor sequences.

Distinct roles for motor cortical and thalamic inputs to striatum during motor learning and execution

Results show that the sensorimotor striatum is a conduit through which motor cortical inputs can drive experience-dependent changes in subcortical motor circuits, likely at thalamostriatal synapses.

Role of basal ganglia–brainstem pathways in the control of motor behaviors

Role of the basal ganglia in the control of purposive saccadic eye movements.

The interaction between cortical and dopaminergic inputs to CD neurons may underlie the behavioral adaptation toward purposeful saccades, which reflects working memory, expectation, and attention.

Inhibitory control of neostriatal projection neurons by GABAergic interneurons

Paired whole-cell recordings are used to show that inhibitory synaptic potentials generated from single interneurons are sufficiently powerful to delay or entirely block the generation of action potentials in a large number of projection neurons simultaneously.

Neurobiological bases of rhythmic motor acts in vertebrates.

The hypothesis that different parts of the network controlling locomotion can be used in a variety of other motor acts, including learned ones, is reviewed.

Synaptic organisation of the basal ganglia

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.
