Introduction
The basal ganglia are large subcortical structures comprising several interconnected nuclei
in the forebrain, diencephalon, and midbrain. Historically, the basal ganglia have been
viewed as a component of the motor system. However, there is now substantial evidence
that the basal ganglia interact with all of frontal cortex and with the limbic system. Thus,
the basal ganglia likely have a role in cognitive and emotional function in addition to their
role in motor control.1 Indeed, most diseases of the basal ganglia cause a combination of
movement, affective, and cognitive disorders with the movement disorder being predomi-
nant. The motor circuits of the basal ganglia are better understood than the other circuits,
but because of similar organization of the circuitry, conceptual understanding of basal
ganglia motor function can provide a useful framework for understanding cognitive and af-
fective function, too.
Circuits
The basal ganglia include the striatum (caudate, putamen, nucleus accumbens), the sub-
thalamic nucleus (STN), the globus pallidus (internal segmentdGPi, external segmentdGPe,
ventral pallidumdVP), and the substantia nigra (pars compactadSNpc and pars reticulatad
SNpr) (Fig. 1.1). The striatum and STN receive the majority of inputs from outside of the basal
ganglia. Most of those inputs come from cerebral cortex, but thalamic nuclei also provide
strong inputs to striatum. The bulk of the outputs from the basal ganglia arise from the
globus pallidus internal segment, VP, and substantia nigra pars reticulata. These outputs
are inhibitory to the pedunculopontine area in the brainstem and to thalamic nuclei that in
turn project to frontal lobe.
The striatum receives the bulk of extrinsic input to the basal ganglia. The striatum
receives excitatory input from virtually all of cerebral cortex.2 In addition, the ventral stria-
tum (nucleus accumbens and rostroventral extensions of caudate and putamen) receives in-
puts from hippocampus and amygdala.3 The cortical input uses glutamate as its
neurotransmitter and terminates largely on the heads of the dendritic spines of medium
spiny neurons.4 The projection from the cerebral cortex to striatum has a roughly topo-
graphic organization that provides the basis for an organization of functionally different
circuits in the basal ganglia.5,6 Although the topography implies a certain degree of parallel
organization, there is also evidence for convergence and divergence in the corticostriatal
projection. The large dendritic fields of medium spiny neurons7 allow them to receive input
from adjacent projections, which arise from different areas of cortex. Inputs to striatum from
several functionally related cortical areas overlap and a single cortical area projects diver-
gently to multiple striatal zones.8,9 Thus, there is a multiply convergent and divergent or-
ganization within a broader framework of functionally different parallel circuits. This
organization provides an anatomical framework for the integration and transformation of
cortical information in the striatum.

Cell Types
Medium spiny striatal neurons make up 90%e95% of the striatal neuron population. They
project outside of the striatum and receive a number of inputs in addition to the important

cortical input, including (1) excitatory glutamatergic inputs from thalamus; (2) cholinergic
input from striatal interneurons; (3) gamma-amino-butyric acid (GABA), substance P,
and enkephalin input from adjacent medium spiny striatal neurons; (4) GABA input
from fast-spiking interneurons; (5) a large input from dopamine-containing neurons in
the SNpc; (6) a more sparse input from the serotonin-containing neurons in the dorsal
and median raphe nuclei.
The fast-spiking GABAergic striatal interneurons make up only 2%e4% of the striatal
neuron population, but they exert powerful inhibition on medium spiny neurons. Like me-
dium spiny neurons, the striatal interneurons receive excitatory input from cerebral cortex.
They appear to play an important role in limiting the activity of medium spiny neurons
and in focusing the spatial pattern of their activation.10 Abnormalities in the number or func-
tion of these neurons have been linked to the pathobiology of involuntary movements.11e13
Compartments
Although there are no apparent regional differences in the striatum based on cell type, an
intricate internal organization has been revealed with special stains. When the striatum is
stained for acetylcholinesterase (AChE), there is a patchy distribution of lightly staining re-
gions within more heavily stained regions.14 The AChE-poor patches have been called strio-
somes and the AChE-rich areas have been called the extrastriosomal matrix. The matrix
forms the bulk of the striatal volume and receives input from most areas of cerebral cortex.
Within the matrix are clusters of neurons with similar inputs that have been termed matri-
somes. The bulk of the output from cells in the matrix is to both segments of the GP, VP, and
to SNpr. The striosomes receive input from prefrontal cortex and send output to SNpc.15
Immunohistochemical techniques have demonstrated that many substances such as sub-
stance P, dynorphin, and enkephalin have a patchy distribution that may be partly or
wholly in register with the striosomes. The striosome-matrix organization suggests a level
of functional segregation within the striatum that may be maintained by differential
influences of dopamine.16 While preferential involvement of the striosome or matrix com-
partments has been suggested in some disorders,17 the clinical significance of this organiza-
tion is still not well understood.
Neurotransmitters
Dopamine
The dopamine input to the striatum terminates largely on the shafts of the dendritic
spines of medium spiny neurons where it is in a position to modulate transmission from
the cerebral cortex to the striatum.18 The action of dopamine on striatal neurons depends
on the type of dopamine receptor involved. Five types of G protein-coupled dopamine recep-
tors have been described (D1.D5).19 These have been grouped into two families based on
their linkage to adenyl cyclase activity and response to agonists. The D1 family includes
D1 and D5 receptors and the D2 family includes D2, D3, and D4 receptors. The conventional
view has been that dopamine acts at D1 receptors to facilitate the activity of postsynaptic neu-
rons and at D2 receptors to inhibit postsynaptic neurons.20 Indeed, this is a fundamental

concept for some models of basal ganglia pathophysiology.21,22 However, the physiologic ef-
fect of dopamine on striatal neurons is more complex. While activation of dopamine D1 re-
ceptors potentiates the effect of cortical input to striatal neurons in some states, it reduces the
efficacy of cortical input in others.23 Activation of D2 receptors more consistently decreases
the effect of cortical input to striatal neuron.24 Dopamine contributes to focusing the spatial
and temporal patterns of striatal activity.
In addition to short-term facilitation or inhibition of striatal activity, there is evidence that
dopamine can modulate corticostriatal transmission by mechanisms of long-term depression
(LTD) and long-term potentiation (LTP). Through these mechanisms, dopamine strengthens
or weakens the efficacy of corticostriatal synapses and can thus mediate reinforcement of spe-
cific discharge patterns. LTP and LTD are thought to be fundamental to many neural mecha-
nisms of learning and may underlie the hypothesized role of the basal ganglia in habit
learning.25 SNpc dopamine neurons fire in relation to behaviorally significant events and
reward.26 These signals are likely to modify the responses of striatal neurons to inputs that
occur in conjunction with the dopamine signal resulting in the reinforcement of motor and
other behavior patterns. Striatal lesions or focal striatal dopamine depletion impairs the
learning of new movement sequences,27 supporting a role for the basal ganglia in certain types
of procedural learning. Dopamine may also play a role in other aspects of motor learning.28
GABA
Medium spiny striatal neurons contain the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA and colocal-
ized peptide neurotransmitters.29,30 Based on the type of neurotransmitters and the predom-
inant type of dopamine receptor they contain, the medium spiny neurons can be divided into
two populations. One population contains GABA, dynorphin, and substance P and primarily
expresses D1 dopamine receptors. These neurons project to the basal ganglia output nuclei,
GPi, and SNpr. The second population contains GABA and enkephalin and primarily ex-
presses D2 dopamine receptors. These neurons project to the external segment of the globus
pallidus (GPe).21
Acetylcholine
Cholinergic interneurons densely innervate the striatum31 and modulate dopamine
release.32 Additional cholinergic input into striatum comes from the pedunculopontine nu-
cleus and the laterodorsal tegmental nuclei in the brainstem.33 Via muscarinic acetylcholine
receptors, cholinergic interneurons influence both dopamine D1 and D2 receptor-
expressing medium spiny neurons. A key property of cholinergic interneurons is their tonic
spiking activity, and thus they are also referred to as tonically active neurons.34
Subthalamic Nucleus
The STN receives an excitatory, glutamatergic input from many areas of frontal lobes with
especially large inputs from motor areas of cortex.35 The STN also receives inhibitory

GABAergic input from GPe. The output from the STN is glutamatergic and excitatory to the
basal ganglia output nuclei, GPi, VP, and SNpr. STN also sends an excitatory projection back
to GPe. There is a somatotopic organization in STN36 and a relative topographic separation of
“motor” and “cognitive” inputs to STN.
Output Nuclei: Globus Pallidus Interna and Substantia Nigra Pars Reticulata
The primary basal ganglia output arises from GPi, a GPi-like component of VP, and SNpr.
As described above, GPi and SNpr receive excitatory input from STN and inhibitory input
from striatum. They also receive an inhibitory input from GPe. The dendritic fields of GPi,
VP, and SNpr neurons span up to 1 mm diameter and thus have the potential to integrate
a large number of converging inputs.37 The output from GPi, VP, and SNpr is inhibitory
and uses GABA as its neurotransmitter. The primary output is directed to thalamic nuclei
that project to the frontal lobes: the ventrolateral, ventroanterior, and mediodorsal nuclei.
The thalamic targets of GPi, VP, and SNpr project, in turn, to frontal lobe, with the strongest
output going to motor areas. Collaterals of the axons projecting to thalamus project to an area
at the junction of the midbrain and pons in the area of the pedunculopontine nucleus.38 Other
output neurons (20%) project to intralaminar nuclei of the thalamus, to the lateral habenula,
or to the superior colliculus.39
The basal ganglia motor output has a somatotopic organization such that the body below
the neck is largely represented in GPi, and the head and eyes are largely represented in SNpr.
The separate representation of different body parts is maintained throughout the basal
ganglia. Within the representation of an individual body part, it also appears that there is
segregation of outputs to different motor areas of cortex and that an individual GPi neuron
sends output via thalamus to just one area of cortex.40 Thus, GPi neurons that project via thal-
amus to motor cortex are adjacent to, but separate from, those that project to premotor cortex
or supplementary motor area. GPi neurons that project via thalamus to prefrontal cortex are
also separate from those projecting to motor areas and from VP neurons projecting via thal-
amus to orbitofrontal cortex. The anatomic segregation of basal ganglia-thalamocortical out-
puts suggests functional segregation at the output level, but other anatomic evidence
suggests interactions between circuits within the basal ganglia (see above).5,41
I. Overview
Inhibiting and Disinhibiting Motor Patterns 9
to neurons in striatum and STN and feedforward inhibition to neurons in GPi and SNpr. This
circuitry suggests that GPe may act to oppose, limit, or focus the effect of the striatal and STN
projections to GPi and SNpr as well as focus activity in these output nuclei.
Although the basal ganglia intrinsic circuitry is complex, the overall picture is of two pri-
mary pathways through the basal ganglia from cerebral cortex with the output directed via
thalamus at the frontal lobes. These pathways consist of two disynaptic pathways from cortex
to the basal ganglia output (Fig. 1.2). In addition, there are several multisynaptic pathways
involving GPe. The two disynaptic pathways are from cortex through (1) striatum (the direct
pathway) and (2) STN (the hyperdirect pathway) to the basal ganglia outputs. These pathways
have important anatomical and functional differences. First, the cortical input to STN comes
only from frontal lobe, whereas the input to striatum arises from virtually all areas of cerebral
cortex. Second, the output from STN is excitatory, whereas the output from striatum is inhib-
itory. Third, the excitatory route through STN is faster than the inhibitory route through stria-
tum.44 Finally, the STN projection to GPi is divergent and the striatal projection is more
focused.45 Thus, the two disynaptic pathways from cerebral cortex to the basal ganglia output
nuclei, GPi and SNpr, provide fast, widespread, divergent excitation through STN and
slower, focused, inhibition through striatum.17 This organization provides an anatomical ba-
sis for focused inhibition and surround excitation of neurons in GPi and SNpr (Fig. 1.3).
Because the output of GPi and SNpr is inhibitory, this results in focused facilitation and sur-
round inhibition of basal ganglia thalamocortical targets.47 The tonically active inhibitory
output of the basal ganglia acts as a “brake” on motor pattern generators (MPGs) in the ce-
rebral cortex (via thalamus) and brainstem. When a movement is initiated by a particular
MPG, basal ganglia output neurons projecting to competing MPGs increase their firing
rate, thereby increasing inhibition and applying a “brake” on those generators. Other basal
ganglia output neurons projecting to the generators involved in the desired movement
decrease their discharge, thereby removing tonic inhibition and releasing the “brake” from
the desired motor patterns. Thus, the intended movement is enabled and competing move-
ments are prevented from interfering with the desired one.35,48
