Emotion regulation is hypothesized to be a multifaceted process by which individuals
willfully modulate the intensity and direction of emotional response via prefrontally mediated …

The cortico–basal ganglia–thalamo–cortical loop is one of the fundamental network motifs in
the brain. Revealing its structural and functional organization is critical to understanding …

The basal ganglia comprise several nuclei in the forebrain, diencephalon, and midbrain
thought to play a significant role in the control of posture and movement. It is well recognized …

This paper reviews some of the recent findings on different aspects of the anatomical
organization of the basal ganglia. Attempts have been made to delineate the anatomical …

We used transneuronal transport of neurotropic viruses to examine the topographic
organization of circuits linking the cerebellar cortex with the arm area of the primary motor …

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 …

The clinical signs grouped under the concept of apathy are a common feature of prefrontal
and basal ganglia lesions or dysfunctions and can therefore help to improve our …

The functions of rewards are based primarily on their effects on behavior and are less
directly governed by the physics and chemistry of input events as in sensory systems …

Dopamine (DA) acts as a key neurotransmitter in the brain. Numerous studies have shown
its regulatory role for motor and limbic functions. However, in the early stages of Parkinson's …
