Disorders (891 words)
The basal ganglia, cortex and striatum are the specific areas in the brain that are affected.
These neurons work by connecting with other neurons in the corpus striatum, which then send messages to the areas in the cortex which control motor functioning.
This results in a decrease in the number of signals that are sent to the corpus striatum, which interferes with the normal functioning of the nervous system.
A Brief History of the Basal Ganglia (364 words)
Amongst those that continued studying the corpus striatum, there was a sudden realization that many of the functions originally assigned to it were in fact properties of neighbouring corticospinal paths (Wilson, 1914).
The corpus striatum came to be viewed as the major components of the "extrapyramidal motor system" (Parent, 1986).
This term loosely grouped the corpus striatum with an array of brain stem nuclei and reflected the assumption that this grouping constituted a complete and independent motor unit (Carpenter 1981).
