Research News and Information

Definition of 'Corpus Striatum'

Striped gray and white matter consisting of the NEOSTRIATUM and paleostriatum (GLOBUS PALLIDUS). It is located in front of and lateral to the thalamus in each cerebral hemisphere. The gray substance is made up of the CAUDATE NUCLEUS and the lentiform nucleus (the latter consisting of the GLOBUS PALLIDUS and PUTAMEN). The white matter is the internal capsule.

Common names: Corpus Striatum; Striatum, Corpus; Lenticular Nucleus; Nucleus, Lenticular; Nucleus Lentiformis; Lentiformis, Nucleus; Lentiform Nucleus; Nucleus, Lentiform

Electrophysiological and hemodynamic responses to reward prediction violation.

24 Aug 2009 Anterior cingulate cortex has been functionally linked to the detection of outcomes that are worse than expected using both scalp electrophysiological [event-related potential (ERP)] and hemodynamic [functional MRI (fMRI)] responses. This study used ... Read more...


Transcranial brain sonography findings predict disease progression in multiple sclerosis.

3 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: In multiple sclerosis (MS), an early neurodegenerative affection of subcortical gray matter has been suggested. Transcranial sonography (TCS) shows hyperechogenic lesions of substantia nigra (SN) and basal ganglia, thought to reflect iron ... Read more...


Reduced ventrolateral fMRI response during observation of emotional gestures related to the degree of dopaminergic impairment in Parkinson disease.

29 Jun 2009 Recent findings point to a perceptive impairment of emotional facial expressions in patients diagnosed with Parkinson disease (PD). In these patients, administration of dopamine can modulate emotional facial recognition. We used fMRI to investigate ... Read more...
