  • Title: Imaging basal ganglia function.
    Author: Brooks DJ.
    Journal: J Anat; 2000 May; 196 ( Pt 4)(Pt 4):543-54. PubMed ID: 10923986.
    Abstract:
    In this review, the value of functional imaging for providing insight into the role of the basal ganglia in motor control is reviewed. Brain activation findings in normal subjects and Parkinson's disease patients are examined and evidence supporting the existence for functionally independent distributed basal ganglia-frontal loops is presented. It is argued that the basal ganglia probably act to focus and filter cortical output, optimising the running of motor programs.
