Y1 - 2012 N1 - T2 - Movement Disorders, 3e AB - The term “basal ganglia” (BG) is applied to several gray matter structures located at the base of the cerebral hemispheres. Nowadays, it is commonly used to refer to the striatum (caudate and putamen), the globus pallidus pars externa (GPe) and pars interna (GPi), the subthalamic nucleus (STN) and, the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) and pars reticulata (SNr). Traditionally, the BG have been associated with the control of movement and their dysfunction is the origin of movement disorders such as the parkinsonian syndrome, hemichorea-ballismus, and dystonia.1 SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - neurology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=55791422 ER -
