Functions of the Cortico-Basal Ganglia Loop

Functions of the Cortico-Basal Ganglia Loop edited by Minoru Kimura, Ann M. Graybiel.

In this volume, which is based on the proceedings of the international symposium "Functional Linkages Between the Cerebral Cortex and Basal Ganglia in the Control of Voluntary Movement", held December 1993 in Osaka, Japan, the world's leading neuroscientists present the most up-to-dat...
