LINKAGE OF BASAL GANGLIA
Components of basal ganglia
- Input nuclei - neostriatum
- Nucleus caudatus
- Putamen
- Nucleus accumbens
- Output nuclei
- Pars reticularis substantiae nigrae
- Globus pallidus medialis
- Ventral pallidum
- Intrinsic nuclei
- Globus pallidus lateralis
- Nucleus subthalamicus
- Pars compacta substantiae nigrae
- Nuclei tegmentales anteriores (Area tegmentalis anterior Tsai)
Four main loops in the linkage of basal
ganglia
- sensory-motor loop - modification of limbs and trunc motorics
- oculomotor loop - movements of eyeballs
- association loop - space memory and interpretation of motor behavior
efficiency
- limbic loop - expression of emotions with motorics and visceral manifestation
