Sensorimotor Contributions of the Basal Ganglia: Recent Advances Basic investigations into the neural processes underlying the control of movement can provide crucial information to movement scientists and clinicians striving to better understand these complex systems. Toward this goal, neural structures presumed to exert an influence on motor control have been the focus of intensive study in the last two decades with regard to anatomical connections, physiology, and biochemistry. Among these structures (Fig. 1), [1] the subcortical neuclei comprising the basal ganglia (BG) have generated a great deal of scientific interest. Although various schemes exist for describing ...
