Relationship between axonal collateralization and neuronal degeneration in basal ganglia.
In this paper we evaluate the hypothesis of a possible link between the degree of axonal collateralization of neurons located within the different components of basal ganglia and the vulnerability of these neurons to neurodegenerative or neurotoxic events. Our results stemmed from single-cell labeling experiments in rodents and primates, immunohistochemical study of the dopaminergic nigrostriat...
متن کاملThalamic contributions to Basal Ganglia-related behavioral switching and reinforcement.
Although the existence of prominent connections between the intralaminar thalamic nuclei and the basal ganglia has long been established, the limited knowledge of the functional relevance of this network has considerably hampered progress in our understanding of the neural mechanisms by which the thalamostriatal system integrates and regulates the basal ganglia circuitry. In this brief commenta...
متن کاملComplementary distribution of glutamatergic cerebellar and GABAergic basal ganglia afferents to the rat motor thalamic nuclei.
Motor thalamic nuclei, ventral anterior (VA), ventral lateral (VL) and ventral medial (VM) nuclei, receive massive glutamatergic and GABAergic afferents from the cerebellum and basal ganglia, respectively. In the present study, these afferents were characterized with immunoreactivities for glutamic acid decarboxylase of 67 kDa (GAD67) and vesicular glutamate transporter (VGluT)2, and examined b...
متن کاملBasal ganglia and thalamic morphology in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
In this study, we examined the morphology of the basal ganglia and thalamus in bipolar disorder (BP), schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (SCZ-S), and healthy controls (HC) with particular interest in differences related to the absence or presence of psychosis. Volumetric and shape analyses of the basal ganglia and thalamus were performed in 33 BP individuals [12 without history of psychotic featu...
متن کاملSomatotopic Organization of the Primate Basal Ganglia
Somatotopic organization is a fundamental and key concept to understand how the cortico-basal ganglia loop works. It is also indispensable knowledge to perform stereotaxic surgery for movement disorders. Here I would like to describe the somatotopic organization of the basal ganglia, which consist of the striatum, subthalamic nucleus, globus pallidus, and substantia nigra. Projections from moto...
