Visual recalibration of auditory spatial perception: two separate neural circuits for perceptual learning.

2 Sep 2009 A remarkable example of rapid perceptual learning is the visual recalibration of auditory spatial perception, which can result in either a bias (ventriloquism after-effect) or an improvement (multisensory enhancement) in auditory localization. Here, ... Read more...

White-matter abnormalities in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: a diffusion tensor imaging study.

30 Aug 2009 Current evidence suggests that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) involves dysfunction in wide functional networks of brain areas associated with attention and cognition. This study examines the structural integrity of white-matter ... Read more...

Neocortical movement representations are reduced and reorganized following bilateral intrastriatal 6-hydroxydopamine infusion and dopamine type-2 receptor antagonism.

20 Aug 2009 The neurophysiologic model of Parkinson's disease predicts nigrostriatal dopamine depletion leads to increased inhibitory basal ganglia output resulting in frontal neocortical hypoactivity. The nature of this hypoactivation is not well understood ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Corpus Striatum'

Definition: 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.

Descriptor UI: D003342
