Basal Ganglion Flashcards
1
Q
Hyperdirect pathway
A
enables cortex to directly innervate (excite) the sub thalamic nuc
STN– 2 ways of being excited- hyper direct/indirect
increases brake
2
Q
Striosomal path
A
TAN (ach) interneuons
spiny neurons
habit learning– tonically active dopa neurons
3
Q
Hyperkinetic disorders
A
kills indirect pathway- d2 and stn
no brake
lots of movement
4
Q
Hypokinetic disorders
A
loss of d1 and d2
excessive braking
