Executive loop: involves dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and part of the caudate Limbic loop: involves cingulate cortex and nucleus accumbens Oculomotor loop: involves cadate and superior colliculus (responsible for eliciting rapid eye movements called saccades) Focus here on the motor loop, (the other loops are similar so if we learn this now it should help demystify the others) BG influences movement by regulating upper motor neurons-necessary for normal initiation of voluntary movement Responds in anticipation of and during movements
Balance between the two are not well-defined, but they work together for movement. While they are presented separately here, keep in mind they are working simultaneously.
Overall Excitatory by disinhibiting the upper motor neurons in the cortex (promotes movement)
Overall inhibitory. Serves to modulate the disinihibitory actions of the direct pathway
DA stimulates the direct pathway and inhibits the indirect pathway for an overall excitatory effect. DA input is needed for stimulation of the putamen, along with input from the cortex.
Predominantly D1-receptors
Predominantly D2-Receptors
Lesion in STN reduced inhibitory outflow of basal ganglia in indirect pathway Sx: violent, involuntary movement of limbs
