Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with and without contrast showed mild parenchymal loss which was disproportionate to the patient's age, bilateral symmetrical cavitary lesions in the
globus pallidus measuring 7.
When the DBS is indicated for the treatment of various dystonic syndromes, the
globus pallidus internus (GPi) is most often used as a therapeutic target.
Involvement of
globus pallidus and midbrain nuclei in pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration: measurement of T2 and T2* time.
We performed
globus pallidus internus (GPi) DBS on 25 patients with drug-resistant TS and conducted follow-up assessments of 24 of the patients for over 1 year.
The physiological effect of lesioning or deep brain stimulation (DBS) on these nuclei is still unknown, but the most likely explanation is that the damping effect of PD is alleviated by high-frequency stimulation of the STN, while the inverse happens in dystonia, where stimulation of the
globus pallidus interna (GPi) dampens the abnormal tone and movements.
Globus pallidus hypointensity with or without central hyperintensity is highly characteristic of PKAN (15) (Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neuropathy) or Hallervorden-Spatz disease.
A1] -

1,7) In contrast, infarction of the
globus pallidus due to stroke is typically unilateral and follows a vascular distribution rather than being contained by the neuroanatomic boundary.
Specifically, the neurons of the striatum extend to the internal
globus pallidus (direct pathway), the external
globus pallidus (indirect pathway), and the substantia nigra (indirect pathway).
Differential expression of DSCR in human brain A quantitative analysis of global transcription of DSCR genes along the structures of the brain nuclei and the limbic lobe revealed that the highest values of z-score were registered in the area that includes the putamen for DSCR3, RCAN1 as well as in left and right caudate nuclei for DSCR6, and the left and right
globus pallidus for DSCR3, SH3GBR, DYRK1A, CLIC6 and PRMT2.
The caudate nucleus, red nucleus,
globus pallidus, putamen, white matter, thalamus and substantia nigra of brain were drawn manually based on their anatomical locations in Signal Processing in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (SPIN).
Intriguingly, salience experience alters the activity in the medial
globus pallidus of the basal ganglia and the lateral habenula (LHb) as well as in dopamine and serotonin neurons.
