Prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia contributions to visual working memory.
Visual working memory (VWM) is a remarkable skill dependent on the brain's ability to construct and hold an internal representation of the world for later comparison with an external stimulus. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) and basal ganglia (BG) interact within a cortical and subcortical network supporting VWM. We used scalp electroencephalography in groups of patients with unilateral PFC or BG l...
متن کاملSensory and cognitive functions of the basal ganglia.
Recent studies have found that the basal ganglia are involved in diverse behavioral activities and suggest that they have executive functions. Highlights from the past year include anatomical and clinical studies that have used sophisticated, novel methods to confirm a role for the basal ganglia in somatosensory discrimination, visual perception, spatial working memory and habit learning.
متن کاملTowards an executive without a homunculus: computational models of the prefrontal cortex/basal ganglia system.
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) has long been thought to serve as an 'executive' that controls the selection of actions and cognitive functions more generally. However, the mechanistic basis of this executive function has not been clearly specified often amounting to a homunculus. This paper reviews recent attempts to deconstruct this homunculus by elucidating the precise computational and neural m...
متن کاملSatoshi Goto Abnormal sensory gating in basal ganglia disorders
Basal ganglia is a term to denote subcortical nuclei, consisting of the striatum (putamen or PUT and caudate nucleus or CN), the pallidum (internal and external globus pallidus or Gpi and GPe), sunthalamic nucleus (STN), and substantia nigra (pars compacta or SNc and pars reticulata or SNr). These structures are situated intermediate between the cerebral cortex (mainly frontal lobe) and the tha...
متن کاملBasal ganglia as a sensory gating devise for motor control.
Basal ganglia lie between the cerebral cortex and the thalamus, and have dense fiber connections between them. These connections form 4-5 distinct loops or circuits to allow parallel processing of information. Among them, the most intensively studied is the motor loop, which comprises 2 distinct direct and indirect pathways. The direct pathway disinhibits the powerful inhibition of the internal...
