| 21. | The structural similarity between the substantia nigra and globus pallidus was noted by Mirto in 1896.
|
| 22. | The globus pallidus is involved with voluntary motor movement, while the putamen is involved with motor learning.
|
| 23. | A brain area, the globus pallidus of the basal ganglia, contains a blinking center that controls blinking.
|
| 24. | Without it, nerve cells in an area called the globus pallidus fire abnormally, overcontrolling the body's movements.
|
| 25. | But in contrast to the medium spiny neurons, globus pallidus neurons are tonically active when not activated.
|
| 26. | In particular, the internal segment of the globus pallidus in primates is called the entopeduncular nucleus in rodents.
|
| 27. | Neurons in the globus pallidus are also inhibitory, thus inhibiting the excitatory neurons in the SNpr and VTh.
|
| 28. | These tonically inhibiting neurons thus decrease their inhibitory influence on the internal globus pallidus and the subthalamic nuclei.
|
| 29. | The direct pathway passes through the caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus, which are parts of the basal ganglia.
|
| 30. | In primates, the dorsal pallidum, or globus pallidus, is divided into two parts by the medial medullary lamina.
