Preferred Label : Basal Ganglia;
NCIt related terms : BRAIN, BASAL GANGLIA; collection of basal ganglia;
NCIt definition : Clusters of neurons comprising the globus pallidus, putamen, caudate, nucleus accumbens,
substantia nigra and subthalamic nucleus. They are involved with high level aspects
of inhibitory motor activity in coordination with the excitation commands issued from
the cerebellum.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: Clusters of neurons comprising the globus pallidus, putamen, caudate, nucleus
accumbens, substantia nigra and subthalamic nucleus.; UBERON: Subcortical masses of gray matter in the forebrain and midbrain that are richly
interconnected and so viewed as a functional system. The nuclei usually included are
the caudate nucleus (caudoputamen in rodents), putamen, globus pallidus, substantia
nigra (pars compacta and pars reticulata) and the subthalamic nucleus. Some also include
the nucleus accumbens and ventral pallidum.;
