The striatum is the principal input structure of the basal ganglia. Numerically, the great majority of neurons in the striatum are spiny projection neurons, which produce the inhibitory output of the striatum to the globus pallidum and substantia nigra. The major glutamatergic afferents to the striatum from the cerebral cortex make monosynaptic contact with spiny projection neurons. The dopaminergic afferents from the substantia nigra also synapse directly on the spiny projection neurons. Thus, the spiny projection neurons play a crucial role in the input–output operations of the striatum by integrating glutamatergic cortical inputs with dopaminergic inputs and producing the output ...

Reviews for Cortico-subcortical Dynamics in Parkinson's Disease
From the reviews: "This book nicely combines up-to-date basic science information with clinical data on one of the most prevalent movement disorders worldwide - Parkinson’s disease (PD). … Written for specialists in Parkinson’s disease, the book is appropriate for movement disorder neurologists, neurosurgeons involved in the surgical management of Parkinson’s, and basic scientists interested in the anatomy, physiology, ...
