Neonatal basal ganglia and thalamic volumes: very preterm birth and 7-year neurodevelopmental outcomes

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-equivalent ...

Key brain regions, basal ganglia and cerebellum, talk directly with each other

Researchers have found new evidence that the basal ganglia and the cerebellum, two important areas in the central nervous system, are linked together to form an integrated functional network.

Study unveils the role of the basal ganglia in the control of learned motor skills

Most neuroscience studies investigating motor skills are carried out on rodents. In these experiments, rodents are typically tested on simple motor tasks that they can easily complete using motor ...
