For the first time, scientists have used a non-invasive brain-imaging tool to detect the pathways that connect the parts of the basal ganglia. Share: Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email.

This study aims to (i) compare volumes of individual basal ganglia nuclei (caudate nucleus, pallidum, and putamen) and the thalamus between very preterm (VP) and term-born infants at term ...

Subcortical structures, which include the basal ganglia and parts of the limbic system, have key roles in learning, motor control and emotion, but also contribute to higher-order executive functions.

To complement the efforts to relate basal ganglia mechanisms to reinforcement learning, we introduce an alternative approach to modeling a critic network, which uses Evolutionary Computation ...
