basal ganglia
Acronym:
BG
The term basal ganglia classically refers to a group of subcortical structures of the endbrain that includes the striatum, the globus pallidus, the claustrum, the amygdala and intervening tracts and laminae ( Nomina-1983 ). Most authors now use the term in reference to the basal ganglia circuit. Some earlier authors used it in referring to subsets of the classical group (see: basal ganglia of Carpenter, basal ganglia of Crosby, and basal ganglia of Martin).
Also known as: basal nuclei
