CRC Press Brain Dynamics and the Striatal Complex - Book 1

Explore the fundamental connections between cellular structure and dynamic function in the basal ganglia with Brain Dynamics and the Striatal Complex. As the first volume in the Conceptual Advances in Brain Research series, this text provides a detailed look at the striatum, the largest nucleus within the basal ganglia. Understanding the striatum is a key part of studying how brain structure relates to function. This book examines the specific ways the striatum is organized and how it communicates with other parts of the brain. Readers will find information regarding dopaminergic input to the striatum and the specific ways the striatum interacts with the cerebral cortex. This volume serves as a foundational resource for those studying neurology, neurophysiology, and the complex systems of the human brain.
