Linked from

The 29 pages that link to Basal ganglia, each with the reason it gives.

• HabitRelated: These circuits contribute to learning and expressing practiced action sequences.

• ThalamusRelated: Basal ganglia output reaches the cortex through thalamic relays.

• Cerebral palsyRelated: Injury to these circuits can contribute to dyskinetic cerebral palsy.

• DystoniaRelated: Abnormal basal ganglia circuitry is implicated in many forms of dystonia.

• Motor coordinationRelated: Its circuits help select and initiate coordinated actions.

• AkathisiaRelated: These motor circuits help explain why akathisia combines inner agitation with repetitive movement.

• Frontal lobeRelated: Frontal regions rely on basal-ganglia loops to select actions.

• TremorRelated: Abnormal basal-ganglia activity is linked to resting tremor in Parkinson’s disease.

• DiencephalonRelated: The subthalamic nucleus links diencephalic circuitry to basal ganglia action control.

• Progressive supranuclear palsyRelated: Damage to these movement circuits contributes to stiffness and difficulty initiating movement.

• Motor cortexRelated: Their loops with motor cortex help select and scale voluntary actions.

• Leigh syndromeRelated: These energy-demanding structures are among the regions often injured.

• CatalepsyRelated: Disorders affecting these circuits can produce rigidity and abnormal postures.
