Basal ganglia calcification is when calcium deposits form in your brain. It can potentially cause a variety of neurological symptoms and can affect mood, perceptions, and behavior. The basal ganglia ...

Basal Ganglia (Putamen) Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Axial CT scans. Note the large intracerebral hemorrhage originating in the area of the basal ganglia on the left. The basal ganglia is a common ...

‌Chorea is a movement disorder that stems from something wrong with the basal ganglia nerve structure deep in your brain. It causes involuntary movements of the hands, feet, and face. These movements ...

Certain diseases, like Parkinson's and Huntingdon's disease, are associated with damage to the pathways between the brain's basal ganglia regions. The basal ganglia sits at the base of the brain and ...

Okazaki, Japan - It is common that neurons transmit information to another group of neurons by increasing or decreasing their activity, i.e. "firing rate changes". In addition to firing rate changes, ...

Researchers have found new evidence that the basal ganglia and the cerebellum, two important areas in the central nervous system, are linked together to form an integrated functional network.

Neurons deep in the brain not only help to initiate movement-they also actively suppress it, and with astonishing precision. This is the conclusion of a new study by researchers at the University of ...

Basal ganglia calcification is a very rare condition that happens when calcium builds up in your brain, usually in the basal ganglia, the part of your brain that helps control movement. Other parts of ...
