Basal GangliaMHD – Neuroanatomy ModuleFebruary 2, 2016 Gregory Gruener, MD, MBA Vice Dean for Education, SSOM Professor & Associate Chair, Department of Neurology LUHS/Trinity Health and Catholic Health East
Anterolateral Lancet Neurol 2014; 13: 100–12
Outcomes you need to be able to demonstrate • Define and identify the major divisions of the basal ganglia • Identify the basal ganglia on CT/MRI or brainstem sections • List the components of the basal ganglia functional “circuitry” and associated neurotransmitters • List the major basal ganglia functional loops and roles • Describe the direct and indirect motor pathways and relevance/role of the substantia nigra compacta

Basal ganglia “circuitry” • BG have no major outputs to LMNs • Influence LMNs via the cerebral cortex • Inputto striatum from cortex is excitatory • Glutamate is the neurotransmitter • Principaloutputfrom BG is via GPi + SNr • Output to thalamus, GABA is the neurotransmitter • Thalamocortical projections are excitatory • Concerned with motor “intention” • Balance of excitatory & inhibitory inputs to striatum, determine whether thalamus is suppressed
BG circuits are parallel loops • Motor loop • Concerned with learned movements • Cognitive loop • Concerned with motor “intention” • Limbic loop • Emotional aspects of movements • Oculomotor loop • Concerned with voluntary saccades (fast eye-movements)

Motor Circuit - Direct Pathway Striatum inhibition on GPi is minimal Thalamic activity is decreased Cortex is “inhibited” Striatum inhibition on GPi is maximal Thalamic activity is increased Cortex is “excited”

Motor Circuit - Indirect Pathway Striatum inhibition on GPi is minimal Thalamic activity is decreased Cortex is “inhibited”
Parkinson Disease Purves D, et al. Neuroscience, 5th Ed., Sinauer Associates, 2012
Huntington Disease • Autosomal dominant disorder • Chromosome 4 – Huntingtin gene • Abnormal trinucleotide repeat expansion • Onset age 30 - 50 years of age • Initial symptoms chorea and alternation of mood • Disease progression – dementia worsening personality changes
