The corpus striatum.
The part of the basal ganglia (a structure located deep in the brain) controlling movement, balance, and walking.
adjective, Latin striatus = furrowed; hence, corpus striatum, the caudate and lentiform nuclei connected by grey strands which traverse the internal capsule, giving the strands a striated appearance.
A collective term for the caudate nucleus and putamen, which are two of the basal ganglia of the forebrain.
a region of the brain that controls walking, balance, and general voluntary movements.
Area of brain controlling movement, balance, and walking. Connects to and receives impulses from Substantia Nigra. Substantia Nigra Black pigmented area of the midbrain where cells manufacture the neurotransmitter dopamine.
a striped mass of white and grey matter located in front of the thalamus in each cerebral hemisphere; consists of the caudate nucleus and the lenticular nucleus
Structure in the basal ganglia composed of the caudate and putamen.
Refers to the neostriatum (caudate nucleus and putamen). See caudate nucleus and putamen.
Part of the brain controlling movement, balance and walking and connects to and receives impulses from the substantia nigra. The nerve cells within the striatum need dopamine to function normally.
part of the basal ganglia; a large cluster of nerve cells, consisting of the caudate nucleus and the putamen, that controls movement, balance, and walking; the neurons of the striatum require dopamine to function.
An area of the brain that controls movement and balance. It is connected to and receives signals from the substantia nigra.
See corpus striatum
A mass of grey matter that includes the putamen and caudate
part of the basal ganglia of the brain. The striatum is composed of the caudate nucleus, putamen, and ventral striatum. See basal ganglia, caudate nuclei.
The area of the brain that controls movement, balance, and walking--connects to and receives impulses from the area of the brain that produces dopamine (substantia nigra)
general regions of the brain that are involved in the initiation of movement ubstantia nigra - region of the brainstem, contains dopaminergic neurons, necessary in the control of movement
a region of the brain that receives input and output from the cortex
The striatum is a subcortical part of the telencephalon. It is a major part of the basal ganglia system : its input station.
