Description
Handbook of Basal Ganglia Structure and Function, 2nd Edition, (PDF) serves as an indispensable resource, offering an in-depth examination of the structural and functional intricacies of the basal ganglia while emphasizing its clinical significance. This cluster of forebrain nuclei is deeply interconnected with the cerebral cortex, thalamus, and brainstem, playing a vital role in a variety of essential brain functions such as sensorimotor integration, motor regulation, learning processes, reward mechanisms, and cognitive operations.
An understanding of these nuclei is critical for grasping normal brain function and behavior. Their significance is underscored by the multitude of disorders linked with basal ganglia dysfunction, including, but not limited to, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, Tourette’s syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, dystonia, and forms of psychostimulant addiction.
The thoroughly revised 2nd edition presents the latest and most comprehensive insights into this crucial component of the brain. Edited and contributed by esteemed researchers specializing in basal ganglia studies, this new edition includes ten completely new chapters that expand on aspects of anatomy and physiology, offer detailed insights into cutting-edge advancements in cellular/molecular and physiological mechanisms, and delve deeper into the behavioral and clinical implications of basal ganglia function and dysfunction.
This updated handbook adeptly synthesizes widely dispersed information concerning the behavioral neurobiology of the basal ganglia, exploring cellular/molecular dynamics, physiological mechanisms, and groundbreaking understandings of the anatomy while addressing broader behavioral and clinical factors associated with both functionality and dysfunctionality.
- Contributions from leading international authors renowned for their expertise in the field
- Comprehensive exploration of the clinically relevant impact of the basal ganglia across various psychiatric and neurological ailments
