CURRENT CONTROVERSIES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS IN BASAL GANGLIA RESEARCH : Integrating Basic Neuroscience and Clinical Investigation

摘要: A number of contemporary neurobiologic, neuropsychiatric, neurologic, and neurosurgical aspects basal ganglia research are reviewed in this issue. Remarkable progress is evident nearly every area endeavor. In concluding article, the authors have selected four areas for discussion, which touch on a range promising strategies, highlight few present controversies field. The article begins with discussion promise behavioral analysis across mammalian species as means studying functional anatomy ganglia, its role learning memory, well other forms cognitive processing. Second, considered some competing views how structural organization circuitry relate to performance routines. Third, genetic developmental perspectives function considered. closing, return relevance these complex neurobehavioral systems, understanding treatment psychiatric neurologic disease.
