Stroke‐associated hyperkinetic movements are most often linked to basal ganglia lesions, while cortical or insular involvement is rarely reported. Hemichorea is an uncommon manifestation of acute ...

Fallah and colleagues characterize the connectivity between two basal ganglia output nuclei, the SNr and GPe, and a the pedunculopontine nucleus, a brainstem nucleus that is part of the mesencephalic ...

Objective: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are common in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and have been linked to an increased risk of stroke and cognitive impairment. Emerging evidence ...

Research shows new brain pathways in the striatum modulate dopamine, linking movement control to emotional decisions, enhancing our understanding of motivation. Credit: SciTechDaily.com MIT ...

Within the human brain, movement is coordinated by a brain region called the striatum, which sends instructions to motor neurons in the brain. Those instructions are conveyed by two pathways, one that ...
