Basic Science Investigation Published: 17 June 2015 Long-term increase in coherence between the basal ganglia and motor cortex after asphyxial cardiac arrest and resuscitation in developing rats ...

Basal ganglia calcification is when calcium deposits form in your brain. It can potentially cause a variety of neurological symptoms and can affect mood, perceptions, and behavior.

Love for one’s children generated the most intense brain activity, closely followed by romantic love, according to the study ...

Movement is a complex process governed by a network of neuronal circuits spread across multiple regions of the nervous system ...

Traditional views on the origins of stuttering are being upended by groundbreaking research methods that focus on speech initiation issues rooted in the basal ganglia.

We further suggest that since such selective encoding may bias the representation at the level of the frontal cortex towards the selection of rewarded plans and actions, the reinforcement-driven ...

VP birth results in smaller basal ganglia and thalamic volumes at term-equivalent age, and these smaller volumes are related to a range of 7-year neurodevelopmental deficits in VP children.

Their results suggest that the basal ganglia first identify the rule, and then "train" the prefrontal cortex, which absorbs the lesson more slowly.

Getting to know your basal ganglia can help you waste less time cramming (and forgetting what you've learned later on).

The basal ganglia are a pair of regions directly below the brain's cortex that are involved in motor control and learning and that are impaired in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Smooth movements require coordinated control of muscles. Even a simple reaching movement involves coordinated movements of a person's shoulder, arm, wrist and fingers, which are controlled by ...
