Series Statement:
Handbook of Behavioral Neuroscience
Content:
no other volumes which cover the broad range of structural and functional aspects of the basal ganglia, with an outlook towards clinical relevance. The Basal Ganglia comprise a group of forebrain nuclei that are interconnected with the cerebral cortex, thalamus and brainstem. Basal ganglia circuits are involved in various functions including motor control and learning, sensorimotor integration, reward and cognition. The importance of the basal ganglia for normal brain function and behavior is emphasized by the numerous and diverse disorders associated with basal ganglia dysfunction
