The basal ganglia pathophysiology : recent advances Collection home page Statistics

Logo


The term Basal Ganglia in English first appeared courtesy of David Ferrier writing in 1876 and as an adaptation of the German term, Stammganglion, coined by Forel in 1872. It was, without any doubt, better than Buttocks, Galen’s earlier definition! However, the anatomical network of the basal ganglia circuits was not outlined with any degree of precision until the 20th century. During the last couple of centuries, advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of the basal ganglia have represented one of the success stories of medicine. Nevertheless, although an enormous amount of experimental evidence has revealed the pivotal role of this group of nuclei in largely diverse motor, behavioural, physiological and pathological processes, we are far away from a comprehensive understanding of the BG.
