The basal ganglia are a set of subcortical structures that interact with the cerebral cortex to regulate motor, cognitive and affective function through reinforcement learning and action selection.

Basal ganglia neurons precisely regulate complex movement timing 20m N eurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement-they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision.

Dopaminergic axons and terminals are labeled with (a–c) anti-dopamine or (d–f) anti-dopamine transporter antibodies. The terminals partially wrap around the vessel, giving rise to several ...

OBJECTIVES AND METHODS Transcranial real time sonography (TCS) was applied to 49 patients with Huntington’s disease and 39 control subjects to visualise alterations in the echotexture of the basal ...

Complex nonlinear dynamics in a recent mathematical model of non-basal testosterone regulation are investigated. In agreement with biological evidence, the pulsatile (non-basal) secretion of ...

In deep brain stimulation surgery the most important step is the correct location of the neurostimulator device. Here, the medical specialist needs to robustly locate the basal ganglia area (i.e.

None of the 291 patients had complications with CTA. 118 In multivariable analysis, younger age, location of ICH, absence of signs of small vessel disease (defined as presence of white matter lesions ...

The model-free (MF) analysis was applied to the fluorescence decays of 32 pyrene-labeled macromolecules to probe their internal dynamics. Depending on whether a pyrene derivative was attached to the ...

Vagina: The vagina is a muscular canal that connects the cervix to the outside of the body. Parts of the vagina are made of collagen and elastin, which help it expand during sexual stimulation and ...

AIM To investigate the APO*E3-Leiden mouse as an animal model for age related maculopathy (ARM) related extracellular deposits. METHODS Eyes were obtained from APO*E3-Leiden transgenic mice on a high ...
