This groundbreaking text takes current knowledge of the basal
ganglia far from well-known motor-based models to a more inclusive
understanding of deep-brain structure and function. Synthesizing
diverse perspectives from across the brain-behavioral sciences, it
tours the neuroanatomy and circuitry of the basal ganglia, linking
their organization to their controlling functions in core
cognitive, behavioral, and motor areas, both normative and
disordered. Interactions between the basal ganglia and major
structures of the brain are identified in their contributions to a
diverse range of processes, from language processing to
decision-making, emotion to visual perception, motivation to
intent. And the basal ganglia are intimately involved in the
mechanisms of dysfunction, as evinced by chapters on dyskinesia,
Parkinson's disease, neuropsychiatric conditions, and addictions.
Included in the coverage: Limbic-basal ganglia circuits: parallel
and integrative aspects. Dopamine and its actions in the basal
ganglia system. Cerebellar-basal ganglia interactions. The basal
ganglia contribution to controlled and automatic processing. The
basal ganglia and decision making in neuropsychiatric disorders.
The circuitry underlying the reinstatement of cocaine seeking:
modulation by deep brain stimulation. The basal ganglia and
hierarchical control in voluntary behavior. Its breadth and depth
of scholarship and data should make The Basal Ganglia a work of
great interest to cognitive psychologists and neuroscientists,
neuropsychologists, neurologists, neuropsychiatrists, and
speech-language pathologists.
