Gsx2 is a homeodomain transcription factor critical for development of the ventral telencephalon and hindbrain of the mouse. Loss of Gsx2 function results in severe basal ganglia dysgenesis as well as defects in the nucleus tractus solitarius (nTS) of the hindbrain together with respiratory failure at birth. De Mori et al.

The subthalamic nucleus is thought to play a crucial role in controlling impulsive actions. Networked among the basal ganglia and receiving input from several cortical areas, the subthalamic nucleus is well positioned to influence action selection when faced with competing and conflicting action outcomes. The purpose of this study was to test the dissociable roles of the dorsal and ventral aspects of the subthalamic nucleus during action conflict in patients with Parkinson's disease undergoing intraoperative neurophysiological recording and to explore a potential mechanism for this inhibitory control.

A 49-year-old female presented with the primary complaint of hand tremors. Neurological examination on admission revealed signs of cognitive impairment, bulbar palsy, dystonia, cerebellar ataxia, and pyramidal tract disease. T-weighted brain MRI revealed hyperintense signals in the subcortical white matter, basal ganglia, and cerebellar dentate nucleus, with no atrophy of the brainstem or corpus callosum.

The pathophysiology of tic disorders involves an alteration in the transmission of messages through the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamo-cortical circuit. A major requirement for the passage of a message through this circuit is an intact chemically mediated synaptic neurotransmitter system (ie, neurotransmitters and second messengers). This article reviews the scientific evidence supporting the involvement of a variety of neurotransmitters (ie, dopamine, glutamate, gamma-aminobutyric acid, serotonin, acetylcholine, and the opioid system).

The underlying pathophysiology of tics in Tourette syndrome is a topic of major scientific interest. To date, there is an absence of consensus among researchers regarding the precise anatomic location responsible for tics. The goal of this article is to review the current understanding of these brain circuits and data supporting specific anatomic regions.
