Uberon definition : An individual member of a collection of basal ganglia. Basal ganglia are 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[NIF,modified].;
