as far as 350 years based on recorded anatomical observations, notably those published in 1664 by the English anatomist Thomas Willis Yet, for much of this time, the basal ganglia have held a certain enigmatic quality in terms of their functions The conception held late into the twentieth century that the basal ganglia were associated largely with motor control or coordination had a few roots Basal ganglia ablation studies in animals that began in the nineteenth century showed dramatically marked motor symptomatology In clinical neurology, features such as dystonia, dyskinesia, and chorea, manifesting in neurodegenerative disorders with known involvement of the basal ganglia structures, reasonably reinforced the prominence of the motor-centered view Pioneering work in neurobiology conducted in the 1960s and 1970s began the sea of change in the contemporary understanding of the basal ganglia Progress was made possible thanks to the advent of novel investigative methods that permitted more precise analysis of anatomical pathways and the discovery of various neuronal phenotypes throughout the basal ganglia On another front, anatomical and physiological studies carried out in the late 1970s and early 1980s led to the concept of parallel, segregated basal ganglia circuits, while other studies led to the concept of a ventral, “limbic” basal ganglia, and, at a more cellular level, other studies led to the concept of a direct and indirect pathway These advances have been documented in several reviews and volumes By the 1980s, there was early convergence of data from neuroscience and neuropsychology, broadening the conceptual framework of the basal ganglia to include functions of cognition, emotion, and motivation While the inertia in the motorcentered world of the basal ganglia did not fade overnight, studies from diverse avenues of neuroscience, enabled by novel research techniques, began to reveal a complex neural architecture and functional diversity As a complex system of interface between intention and action, the role of the basal ganglia has encroached into processes traditionally associated with the cerebral cortex and hippocampus such as language, memory, reinforcement, and associative learning Its role in the sequencing of learned associations was brought to bear on multiple functional domains vii viii Preface This also highlighted its importance in neurocognitive, neuropsychiatric, and neurodegenerative motor disorders Over the last two decades, the intensification of neuroscience efforts combined with astonishing advances in imaging, genetic, and molecular methods has led to further demystify the basal ganglia and to revise its role in motor and non-motor functions It is now established that the basal ganglia can be subdivided into several anatomical and functional territories that share different connectivity with cortical and subcortical centers These advances combined with a more detailed understanding of the cellular and molecular organization have provided the framework for novel integrative and computational models of the basal ganglia Yet, even with all the progress in understanding the basal ganglia, perspective of its functions as currently understood is neither readily present nor easily articulated in the general arena of behavioral neuroscience This volume presents many of the recent developments relating to neural architecture and functional circuitry of the basal ganglia; the role of the basal ganglia across many of the neurobehavioral domains—motor and cognitive function, emotion, and motivation, etc.; and the manifestations of these basal ganglia-mediated functions in various motor, cognitive, and neuropsychiatric disorders The volume assembles contributions from eminent basal ganglia researchers and covers perspectives across subdisciplines of neuroscience while being grounded in cognitive neuroscience and neurobiology In addition to the basal ganglia and neuroscience research community, the volume should be of interest to practitioners in neuropsychology, neurology, neuropsychiatry, and speech-language pathology Boston, MA Jean-Jacques Soghomonian
