Electrically induced afterdischarge (ADs) were evoked in the cats' dorsal hippocampus. The action of the conditioning prestimulation of the pallidus nucleus on AD duration was studied. A significant facilitatory influence was observed when pallidal conditioning stimulation immediately preceded hippocampal test stimulation. The time course of the phenomenon showed a decrease of the conditioning action when the interval between the two stimulations increased : complete disappearance of the effect occurred after about 800 ms. Results are discussed as far as functional relationships between basal ganglia and rhinencephalic system are concerned.

Post mortem validation and mechanistic study of UCB-J in progressive supranuclear palsy patients' brains.

Introduction: Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a devastating 4R tauopathy affecting motor functions and is often misdiagnosed/underdiagnosed due to a lack of specific biomarkers. Synaptic loss is an eminent feature of tauopathies including PSP. Novel synaptic positron emission tomography tracer UCB-J holds great potential for early diagnosis; however, there is a substantial knowledge gap in terms of the mechanism and the extent and nature of synaptic loss in PSP.

Introduction: Childhood dystonia is often nonresponsive to medications, and refractory cases are increasingly being treated with deep brain stimulation (DBS). However, many have noted that there is little consensus about when DBS should be offered, and there has been little examination of clinicians' decision-making process when determining whether to offer DBS for childhood dystonia.
Objectives: This study aimed to identify and examine the factors considered by pediatric movement disorder specialists before offering DBS.
Somatotopic organization of the primate Basal Ganglia.

Division of System Neurophysiology, National Institute for Physiological Sciences Okazaki, Japan.
Somatotopic organization is a fundamental and key concept to understand how the cortico-basal ganglia loop works. It is also indispensable knowledge to perform stereotaxic surgery for movement disorders. Here I would like to describe the somatotopic organization of the basal ganglia, which consist of the striatum, subthalamic nucleus, globus pallidus, and substantia nigra.

Somatotopy is a fundamental concept that is essential for the understanding of the functions of the brain. Here, I have described somatotopy in the basal ganglia that comprise the striatum, subthalamic nucleus, globus pallidus, and substantia nigra. Projections from the motor cortical subregions that represent different body parts terminate in different regions of these nuclei.
