Ventral pallido‐striatal pathway in the rat brain: A light and electron microscopic study

Ventral pallido‐striatal pathway in the rat brain: A light and electron microscopic study Most theories of basal ganglia functions have been based on a model circuit in which the flow of information follows a one‐way loop proceeding from the cerebral cortex to the striatum, the pallidum/nigra, the thalamus, and then returns to the cortex.

Abstract

Most theories of basal ganglia functions have been based on a model circuit in which the flow of information follows a one‐way loop proceeding from the cerebral cortex to the striatum, the pallidum/nigra, the thalamus, and then returns to the cortex. However, this model neglects data from several studies that show a direct feedback projection from the pallidum to the striatum. In this study, we have examined this feedback connection in the ventral striopallidal system to determine the morphology and chemical properties of ventral pallido‐striatal projection neurons and to determine the morphology of ventral pallidal efferents in the ventral striatum.
