  1. THE BASAL GANGLIA Stephen Crocker, Ph.D. Department of Neuroscience L4012 crocker@uchc.edu

  2. Cerebral Cortex Basal Ganglia FUNCTIONS Facilitates cortical output that initiates and produces effective motor (emotional and cognitive) behaviors. Inhibits cortical output that produces competing or ineffective motor (emotional and cognitive) behaviors. 2/23 SJC/SJP: MEDS 371, 29 Mar 12

  3. How Did Disease Help Elucidate the Functions of the Basal Ganglia? 3/23 SJC/SJP: MEDS 371, 01 Apr 10

  4. DISEASES OF THE BASAL GANGLIA • Hypokinesias • impairment in initiation, velocity and amplitude of movement, hypertonia • Hyperkinesias • extra movements (dyskinesias), hypotonia • Dementias • cognitive and emotional dysfunctions (e.g. Parkinson’s Disease) (e.g. Huntington’s Disease) 4/23 SJC/SJP: MEDS 371, 01 Apr 10
