Specialty Definition: Basal ganglia

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

The basal ganglia is roughly defined as the areas in the brain that, if damaged, would disrupt motor abilities. The exact definition has changed with increased understanding of the functioning of the brain. The most common definition includes the following areas: caudate nucleus, globus pallidus, putamen, and the substantia nigra.

Photo Album: BASAL GANGLIA

Thumbnail	Description & Credit
	PET scans at the level of the basal ganglia of a normal control (1) case 1 at the start (2) and after treatment with AZT (3). In (1) there is a homogeneous pattern of glucose metabolism in the frontal, temporal and occipital cortex and in the subcortical grey matter. At the onset of treatment with AZT (2) there is a heterogeneous pattern of glucose metabolism with a relative reduction in the posterior temporal and occipital regions and the thalamus. Thirteen weeks after treatment with AZT, the abnormal pattern has partly resolved (3). All images are scaled from zero to 100% of the maximum activity within the slice (scale shown on right of figure). Credit: Unknown photographer/artist.
