[HTML][HTML] Basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits: parallel substrates for motor, oculomotor,“prefrontal” and “limbic” functions
GE Alexander, MD Crutcher, MR DeLong - Progress in brain research, 1991 - Elsevier
Publisher Summary Basal ganglia contribute to a wide variety of behavioral functions,
including skeletomotor, oculomotor, cognitive, and limbic processes. This chapter focuses
on the basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits. Basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits are
organized in a parallel manner and remain largely segregated from one another, both
structurally and functionally. The central theme of the segregated circuits hypothesis is that
structural convergence and functional integration occurs within each of the identified circuits …
