Sensory and cognitive functions of the basal ganglia

L L Brown et al. Curr Opin Neurobiol. 1997 Apr.

Abstract

Recent studies have found that the basal ganglia are involved in diverse behavioral activities and suggest that they have executive functions. Highlights from the past year include anatomical and clinical studies that have used sophisticated, novel methods to confirm a role for the basal ganglia in somatosensory discrimination, visual perception, spatial working memory and habit learning.
