The striatum (pl.: striata) or corpus striatum [5] is a cluster of interconnected nuclei that make up the largest structure of the subcortical basal ganglia. [6] The striatum is a critical component of the motor and reward systems ; receives glutamatergic and dopaminergic inputs from different sources; and serves as the primary input to the ...

2024年9月30日 · The striatum, derived from the Latin word “striatus” meaning “grooved” or “furrowed,” is aptly named for its striped appearance when viewed under a microscope. But don’t let its unassuming name fool you – this structure packs a powerful punch when it …

2023年10月30日 · Together with the globus pallidus, the striatum forms a structure called corpus striatum. The striatum is the main input unit of the basal ganglia. It receives excitatory glutamatergic inputs from the cerebral cortex, whose synapsing pattern reflects the …

What is the striatum and what does it do? The striatum is one of the principal components of the basal ganglia, a group of nuclei that have a variety of functions but are best known for their role in facilitating voluntary movement.

The striatum, or corpus striatum, is a subcortical brain region that can be anatomically divided into ventral and dorsal regions. The dorsal region is comprised of the caudate and putamen striatal nuclei.

2022年5月10日 · The striatum, sometimes known as the neostriatum, is the part of the basal ganglia that includes the caudate nucleus, putamen, and nucleus accumbens, but not globus pallidus. Striatum and neostriatum are considered synonyms in the Terminologia Anatomica but are distinguished from corpus striatum 2.

The corpus striatum (commonly referred to as ‘striatum’) is a subcortical structure (i.e., located inside the telencephalon/cerebrum) consisting of two main components: the caudate nucleus and the putamen.

We review the evidence supporting the role of the striatum in optimizing behavior by refining action selection and in shaping habits and skills as a modulator of motor repertoires. These findings challenge the notion that striatal learning processes are limited to the motor domain.

The striatum is the input module to the basal ganglia, a neuronal circuit necessary for voluntary movement control (Hikosaka et al., 2000). The striatum is composed of three nuclei: caudate, putamen, and ventral striatum. The latter contains the nucleus accumbens (NAcc).

The synaptic pathways in the striatum are central to basal ganglia functions including motor control, learning and organization, action selection, acquisition of motor skills, cognitive function, and emotion. Here, we review the role of the striatum ...
