Actions are not mediated solely by cortical processes but rely on communication within basal ganglia-thalamocortical loops. Speech is one example, although how the basal ganglia participate in this ...

Pupillometry, the precise measurement of pupil size and dynamics, has emerged as a valuable tool in evaluating both autonomic nervous system integrity and central neural function. In particular, ...

Researchers have found new evidence that the basal ganglia and the cerebellum, two important areas in the central nervous system, are linked together to form an integrated functional network.
