The Basal Ganglia Novel Perspectives on Motor and Cognitive Functions

The Basal Ganglia Novel Perspectives on Motor and Cognitive Functions / edited by Jean-Jacques Soghomonian.

This text presents the contemporary understanding of the basal ganglia.  In a groundbreaking synthesis, diverse research perspectives grounded in neuroscience and neurobiology are bought together to reflect an integrated understanding of these deep brain structures.  The volume clarifies and broaden...
