A region of the base of the brain that consists of three clusters of neurons (caudate nucleus, putamen, and globus pallidus) that are responsible for involuntary movements such as tremors, athetosis, and chorea. The basal ganglia are abnormal in a number of important neurologic conditions, including Parkinson's disease and Huntington's di [..]

An area of the forebrain that is important to smooth muscle movement and actions. This area works in conjunction with the midbrain to help us avoid moving in choppy, fragmented ways.

A group of forebrain nuclei, including caudate nucleus, globus pallidus, and putamen, found deep within the cerebral hemispheres. See Figures 2.13, 2.17, 11.19.

Several large clusters of nerve cells, including the striatum and the substantia nigra, deep in the brain below the cerebral hemispheres.

Clusters of nerve cells deep in the brain that play an important role in movement.

The site of the brain where the extrapyramidal system originates. Includes caudate nucleus, globus pallidus, and putamen; thalamus, subthalamus, substantia nigra, and red nucleus sometimes included.

Basal ganglia are collections of cells that are located deep inside the brain and have important roles in many higher brain functions. One function in which they play an important part is the control [..]

A large tract of nerve cells in the brain that is involved in controlling movement.

Large subcortical nuclear masses derived from the Telencephalon and located in the basal regions of the cerebral hemispheres.

Large subcortical nuclear masses derived from the telencephalon and located in the basal regions of the cerebral hemispheres.

several large clusters of nerve cells, including the putamen and globus pallidus, deep in the brain below the cerebral hemispheres.

Structures located deep in the brain that play an important role in the initiation of movements. These clusters of neurons include the caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus, and substantia nigra. [..]
