5 Questions
Which brain regions are involved in the planning of movement, including the Basal Ganglia?
Prefrontal cortex and Primary somatosensory cortex
What is the role of the Basal Ganglia in initiating motor movement?
It integrates and relays information from the thalamus to cortical regions
Which neurotransmitter is involved in the direct pathway of Basal Ganglia control of movement?
Glutamate
Which of the following is NOT a component of the Basal Ganglia?
Subthalamic nucleus
What is the role of the thalamus in the Basal Ganglia control of movement?
It acts as an integrator/relay between the Basal Ganglia and cortical regions
