Abstract
The term “basal ganglia” refers to a group of subcortical structures that have long been known to be involved with movement. In the past two decades, they have also been implicated in several psychiatric conditions. Before looking at the circuits, it is helpful to look at the location of the nuclei and some of the terminology involved.
