This study aims to (i) compare volumes of individual basal ganglia nuclei (caudate nucleus, pallidum, and putamen) and the thalamus between very preterm (VP) and term-born infants at term ...

The caudate nucleus (green) is a subcortical brain region located in the striatum. The striatum is one of several neural structures that make up the basal ganglia (colored regions) located below ...

Using this model, we studied single-neuron activity in the monkey caudate nucleus, a major input zone of the basal ganglia, as the basal ganglia may be involved in control of action based on ...

Cognitive fatigue in individuals with traumatic brain injury is associated with caudate activation. Scientific Reports, 2017; 7 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-08846-6 ...

When confronted with an MRI pattern of bilateral basal ganglia lesions, the differential diagnosis includes hypoxic injury, mitochondrial diseases, toxin exposure (eg, carbon monoxide, methanol ...

Results from this study found that patients with MS had a lower thalamic susceptibility (parts per billion [ppb]—7.5 vs –1.1; P <.001) and a higher susceptibility in basal ganglia, caudate ...

Subthalamic nucleus stabilizes movements by reducing neural spike variability in monkey basal ganglia. Nature Communications, 2022; 13 (1) DOI: 10.1038/s41467-022-29750-2 ...

Primary CNS Lymphoma: T1-weighted with gadolinium coronal MRIs. Note the large enhancing mass involving the right frontal lobe and the basal ganglia (especially the caudate) with surrounding edema.

Researchers from the National Institute for Physiological Sciences applied a chemogenetic tool in macaque monkeys and suppressed the subthalamic nucleus, a part of the basal ganglia circuitry. The ...
