Role of the Basal Ganglia in Balance Control by Jasper E. Visser, Bastiaan R. Bloem

“…In this review paper, we summarize the important contributions of the basal ganglia to the regulation of postural control. After a brief overview of basal ganglia circuitries, the emphasis is on clinical observations in patients with focal lesions in parts of the basal ganglia, as the impairments seen here can serve to highlight the normal functions of the basal ganglia nuclei in postural control. …”

Modeling the modulation of beta oscillations in the basal ganglia by dual-target optogenetic stimulation by Xiaomin Wang, Ying Yu, Qingyun Wang

“…The heterogeneity of the globus pallidus externa (GPe) has garnered wide attention, wherein significant differences in pathological changes emphasize its potential as a stimulation target with distinct mechanisms. A basal ganglia-thalamus (BG-Th) network model incorporating heterogeneous GPe is developed to explore potential optogenetic stimulation targets for treating Parkinson's disease (PD). …”
