The basal ganglia and the cerebellum are considered to be distinct subcortical systems that
perform unique functional operations. The outputs of the basal ganglia and the cerebellum�…

Cerebellar neuroscience has undergone a paradigm shift. The theories of the universal
cerebellar transform and dysmetria of thought and the principles of organization of cerebral�…

Scientists in many different fields have been attracted to the study of habits because of the
power habits have over behavior and because they invoke a dichotomy between the�…

Cerebellar research has focused principally on adult motor function. However, the
cerebellum also maintains abundant connections with nonmotor brain regions throughout�…

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

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is widely used for the treatment of movement disorders
including Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, and dystonia and, to a lesser extent, certain�…

Dopamine shapes a wide variety of psychomotor functions. This is mainly accomplished by
modulating cortical and thalamic glutamatergic signals impinging upon principal medium�…

Parkinson's disease is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by
resting tremor, slowness of movements, rigidity, gait disturbance and postural instability�…

The striatum is connected to the cerebral cortex through multiple anatomical loops that
process sensory, limbic, and heteromodal information. Tract-tracing studies in the monkey�…

There has never been a wholesale way of identifying neurons that are monosynaptically
connected either to some other cell group or, especially, to a single cell. The best available�…
