Functional anatomy of the basal ganglia. II. The place of subthalamic nucleus and external pallidium in basal ganglia circuitry
A Parent, LN Hazrati - Brain research reviews, 1995 - Elsevier
The subthalamic nucleus and the external pallidum (GPe) are classically viewed as part of
the so-called indirect pathway, which acts in concert with the direct pathway. The direct and
indirect pathways form the conceptual framework of the anatomical and functional
organization of the basal ganglia. A review of recent data regarding the connections of the
subthalamic nucleus and the GPe has revealed a lack of firm anatomical support for the
existence of the indirect pathway. However, newly recognized projections of the subthalamic …
