Using a novel system, researchers found that a part of the basal ganglia called the striatum is not involved in action selection as previously thought. Instead, the striatum and the motor cortex work ...

A new study reveals that working memory limitations stem from learning challenges rather than storage capacity.

In patients with Parkinson’s disease and in animal models of this disorder, neurons in the basal ganglia and related regions in thalamus and cortex show changes that can be recorded by using ...

Within this theoretical framework, we propose that the primary impairment underlying stuttering behavior is malfunction in the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamocortical (hereafter, cortico-BG) loop that ...

Working memory is what allows humans to juggle different pieces of information in short-term scenarios, like making a mental ...

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Biotin-thiamine-responsive basal ganglia disease (BTBGD) is a neuroregressive disorder associated with subacute encephalopathy, confusion, dysarthria, and dysphagia, as well as ...

Using a novel system, researchers at HHMI's Janelia Research Campus and collaborators found that a part of the basal ganglia called the striatum is not involved in action selection as previously ...

Working memory is what allows humans to juggle different pieces of information in short-term scenarios, like making a mental grocery list and then going shopping or remembering and then dialing a ...
