[PDF][PDF] Parallel organization of functionally segregated circuits linking basal ganglia and cortex
GE Alexander, MR DeLong… - Annual review of …, 1986 - annualreviews.org
Information about the basal ganglia has accumulated at a prodigious pace over the past
decade, necessitating major revisions in our concepts of the structural and functional
organization of these nuclei. From earlier data it had appeared that the basal ganglia served
primarily to integrate diverse inputs from the entire cerebral cortex and to" funnel" these
influences, via the ventrolateral thalamus, to the motor cortex (Allen & Tsukahara 1974,
Evarts & Thach 1969, Kemp & Powell 1971). In particular, the basal
