Overview of the Basal Ganglia Divisions Location Function Pathways ... Return to Main Page Divisions The basal ganglia consist of five subcortical nuclei that participate in the control of movement. Caudate nucleus Putamen the caudate nucleus and putamen both develop from the same telencephalic structure and are composed of indentical cell types. They are fused anteriorly and together are called the striatum or neostriatum. The striatum is the major input nuclei of the basal ganglia. Globus pallidus internal segment external segment Subthalamic nucleus Substantia nigra the pars reticula is the ventral pale zone the pars compacta is the dorsal, darkly pigmented zone comprised of dopaminergic neurons whose cell bodies contain neuromelanin The globus pallidus and the substantia nigra pars reticula constitute the major output nuclei of basal ganglia. Location The basal ganglia lie deep within the cerebral hemispheres, the diencephalon, and the mesencephalon. The cerebral hemispheres hold the caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus. The diencephalon holds the subthalamic nucleus.

CNS Degenerative Disease Numa Marquez-Sterling, MD, Northwestern University Medical School Return to Education Index This material is the lecture handout for the lecture of the same title for the Scientific Basis of Medicine Course, offered to 2nd Year Medical Students at Northwestern University Medical School. Background CNS degenerative diseases are characterized by progressive, selective neuronal loss in defined regions or functional systems (e.g., cerebellum, basal ganglia, upper or lower motor neurons, associative neocortex) with varying degrees of replacement gliosis . Associated histopathologic changes include neuronal inclusions (e.g., Lewy bodies , neurofibrillary tangles) and extraneuronal accumulations (e.g., senile plaques). Etiology or primary inciting pathophysiologic event is generally unknown (i.e., these diseases are generally regarded as idiopathic ). Degenerative diseases may be sporadic or inherited . For some diseases both sporadic (predominate) and inherited (lesser component; generally autosomal dominant) forms exist (e.g., sporadic and familial Alzheimer's Disease). Degenerative diseases range from very common (e.g., Alzheimer's Disease) to very rare (e.g., Hallervorden-Spatz Disease). Prevalence generally increases with age . Treatment options are generally quite limited and consist largely of palliative/supportive care. Goals / Basic Concepts 1. Understand the basic paradigm for neurodegenerative disease as summarized above (SEE also summary figures below).

Rosenblum, MD CHAPTER 6 DISEASES OF THE BASAL GANGLIA AND SUBSTANTIA NIGRA PRETEST: Answers will be found in the text of this chapter What neurotransmitter is produced in the substantia nigra and where does it go? What color is the normal substantia nigra and why? What happens to the subst nigra grossly and microscopically in Parkinsons disease? What is the inclusion body that characterizes idiopathic Parkinsons and what peptide does it contain? Parkinsons disease maybe accompanied by dementia. What other disease of basal ganglia is characterized by dementia and is hereditary? In the later disease what is the key genetic feature? The key gross change? What disease is associated with excessive copper deposition in brain, eye and liver? In the diseases discussed here, the primary pathology within the brain is located either in the basal ganglia or in the substantia nigra. The student should review the anatomy of these structures. The diseases involving the basal ganglia are Huntington's chorea and Wilson's disease, or hepatolenticular degeneration. The disease involving the substantia nigra is Parkinson's disease. The reason for grouping the latter disease together with the former is simple: the neuronal cell bodies in the substantia nigra are connected via their axons with cell bodies in the basal ganglia. The neurotransmitter released at the synapse in the basal ganglia is DOPamine (dihydroxyphenylethylamine), a catecholamine closely related to norepinephrine, and synthesized in the neurons of the substantia nigra. The transmitter travels in the axons to the basal ganglia. Hence destruction of the nigra results in depletion of DOPamine in the basal ganglia.

Familial Fahr's Disease may be transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait or, in other affected families (kindreds), may have autosomal dominant inheritance. In other instances, the condition appears to occur randomly for unknown reasons (sporadically). Some experts suggest that the condition may sometimes result from an unidentified infection during pregnancy affecting the developing fetus (intrauterine infection). Symptoms Fahr's Disease is marked by abnormal calcium deposits in areas of the brain, notably the basal ganglia, cerebral cortex, dentate nucleus, subthalamus and red nucleus areas. Loss of brain cells also occurs. These mineral deposits may also be found in areas where the myelin sheath surrounding nerves has been lost (demyelination), and in fatty (lipid) deposits. The heads of people with Fahr's Disease are often smaller than normal and appear to be round.

University of Michigan - A very brief discussion about basal ganglia. The basal ganglia consists of masses of subcortical grey matter deep within the cerebral hemispheres. Along with the cerebellum, the basal ganglia controls movement and posture, adjusting the body to do certain things, as well as inhibits unwanted movement. Lesions in the basal ganglia cause disturbances in motor activity. Information is sent from the motor cortex to the basal ganglia and is relayed back via the thalamus. Recent studies suggest that the basal ganglia contains five segregated circuits for different funtions of behavior. Each involves seperate regions within the basal ganglia and the thalamus.

Biology 202 1998 Third Web Reports On Serendip TWO DISEASES, ONE HOPE: Fetal Neural Transplantation in the Treatment of Parkinson's and Huntington's Disease Meera Sangaramoothy Parkinson's Disease (PD) and Huntington's Disease (HD) are neurodegenerative diseases that are caused by malfunctions within the motor sector of the nervous system. These malfunctions, which are caused either by the surplus (as in HD) or absence (as in PD) of hormones, are a direct result of neural cell deterioration within the brain. PD and HD illustrate two very different behavioral patterns that are subsequently caused by two opposite and extreme biological abnormalities. Yet the common thread between the two conditions is that there are major mechanical predicaments arising between cellular connections within the brain. Thus, it is the occurrence of cell death that functions as a key link between these two very different diseases. And it is because of this commonality, that the most controversial experimental treatment for PD and HD, fetal transplant surgery, functions as a possible cure for both these diseases. ( ). The cause of neurodegenerative diseases, like PD and HD, is basically a story of how abnormal chemical interactions result in motor problems. Generally speaking, the brain is the body's communication headquarters. It obtains a myriad of information from various parts of the sensory system and processes this information in an organized fashion. It then relays sensory input to different parts of the motor system. Such messages from the brain dictate specific muscular and behavioral patterns. (
