This volume is comprised of the majority of lecture presentations and a few select posters presented at the International Workshop, "Basal Ganglia and Thalamus in Health and Movement Disorders," held in Moscow, Russia, on May 29-31, 2000. The International Committee responsible for organizing this workshop included Alexander Konovalov, Director, Burdenko Institute of Neurosurgery of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Mahlon DeLong, Chair, Department of Neurology, Emory University, Atlanta, USA, Alim Louis Benabid, Chief, Neurosurgery Service, University of Joseph Fourrier, Grenoble, France, and the two undersigned. The workshop was conceived out of a desire to provide a forum for discussions of both basal ganglia-and motor thalamus-related issues by bringing together basic scientists and clinicians representing different disciplines, research directions, and philosophies. The primary goals were to encourage an exchange of information and ideas in an informal environment, to stimulate integration of the data from different disciplines, and to identifY controversial issues and the most essential questions to be addressed in future research.

The thalamus is the last frontier in brain research. It is the least studied region, most likely because it is very complex. The thalamus and basal ganglia are better characterized in nonhuman primates, and this information can be extrapolated to the human thalamus. This atlas can be used for identification of the thalamic nuclei in neuroanatomical, neurochemical, and neurophysiological studies and for guiding probes into the target nuclei during stereotactic surgery in nonhuman primates. The atlas consists of two parts: (1) a book with approximately 30 representative sagittal histological plates corresponding to nuclear outlines and identification; and (2) an interactive CD-ROM containing approximately 85 color-coded maps. The CD-ROM serves to enhance the images in the book by showing three-dimensional interrelationships between the different planes.
