I remain fascinated by my ‘lizard brain’ with its prehistoric fears, intuitions, elations and soulfulness.

Pallidal DBS is an effective therapy for patients with cervical dystonia. DBS suppresses enhanced #lowfrequency #hypersynchrony in the #basalganglia and modulates sensorimotor and cerebellar #networks in dystonia. However, these anatomical and electrophysiological findings have rarely been linked.

Something I always wondered about people with #tourettes and #ticdisorders:
We're almost always empaths.
The part of our brain - the #prefrontalcortex - responsible for #empathy is slightly larger than usual while the part of our brain in our #basalganglia regulating motor planning/control […]

Neuroimaging reveals that both structural and functional abnormalities in the #basalganglia are associated with #fatigue in LC & ME/CFS. Some studies on LC has observed differences in metabolic heterogeneity (variability) within the basal ganglia,

The striatum is frequently recruited during seizures, mainly in the later stages, suggesting a role in seizure propagation and termination rather than initiation.

Absence seizures (AS) involve widespread brain networks beyond the cortico-thalamo-cortical loop.

This paper is foundational in explaining how the #basalganglia encode chunked routines, helping turn repeated actions into #automaticbehaviors — the neurological basis of #habits.
You can’t out-innovate the brain’s need for predictability.

Also, we were able to observe VP-As outside of the cortex: they increase in density in #basalganglia of Parkinson's disease.
And we started to characterize the content of varicosities: turns out they contain #EV and other subcellular organelles. An example👇
