The traditional view that the basal ganglia and cerebellum are simply involved in the control
of movement has been challenged in recent years. One of the pivotal reasons for this�…

New information about the basal ganglia and cerebellar connections with the cerebral cortex
has prompted a reevaluation of the role of the basal ganglia in cognition. We know that the�…

The neural connections of the basal ganglia provide important insights into their function.
Here, we discuss the current perspective on basal ganglia connections with the cerebral�…

It is well established that inputs to the cerebellum arise from multiple areas of the cerebral
cortex, including portions of the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes (eg, Brodal, 1978;�…

The dominant view of cerebellar function has been that it is exclusively concerned with
motor control and coordination. Recent findings from neuroanatomical, behavioral, and�…

In this chapter, we briefly present some of our recent anatomical results on the macro-
organization of the circuits that link the basal ganglia with the skeletomotor areas in the�…

The input to the cerebellum has long been known to originate from widespread regions of
the cerebral cortex including the frontal, parietal and temporal lobes. The output of the�…

Publisher Summary Basal ganglia contribute to a wide variety of behavioral functions,
including skeletomotor, oculomotor, cognitive, and limbic processes. This chapter focuses�…

The traditional view that the basal ganglia are simply involved in the control of movement
has been challenged in recent years. Three lines of evidence indicate that the basal ganglia�…

Ever since Kinnier Wilson s discovered in 1912 that lesions of the basal ganglia cause
abnormal involuntary movements (dyskinesias) in the disease that now bears his name�…
