Basal Ganglia and Thalamus in Health and Movement Disorders
This volume is comprised of the majority of lecture presentations and a few select posters presented at the International Workshop, "Basal Ganglia and Thalamus in Health and Movement Disorders," held in Moscow, Russia, on May 29-31, 2000. The International Committee responsible for organizing this workshop included Alexander Konovalov, Director, Burdenko Institute of Neurosurgery of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, Mahlon DeLong, Chair, Department of Neurology, Emory University, Atlanta, USA, Alim Louis Benabid, Chief, Neurosurgery Service, University of Joseph Fourrier, Grenoble, France, and the two undersigned. The workshop was conceived out of a desire to provide a forum for discussions of both basal ganglia-and motor thalamus-related issues by bringing together basic scientists and clinicians representing different disciplines, research directions, and philosophies. The primary goals were to encourage an exchange of information and ideas in an informal environment, to stimulate integration of the data from different disciplines, and to identifY controversial issues and the most essential questions to be addressed in future research.

Using concrete scientific methods, this work addresses practical and philosophical questions about how the mind and its content form in the brain. An eclectic range of mental phenomena including learning, language, and self-perception are addressed with an eye toward explaining them as manifestations of neural network processes. While this book will be of particular interest to students of many cognitive fields of study such as neuroscience, psychology, and neural networks, it is designed to be accessible for general readers, as it straightforwardly and creatively integrates many disciplines and discussions relating to mental processes. Highlighted are the neuronal properties and regularity that form the mental phenomena and serve their explanation.
Stereotactic Atlas of the Macaca mulatta Thalamus and Adjacent Basal Ganglia Nuclei
Despite numerous studies devoted to the thalamus, its function as a whole and specifically the functional role of the individual thalamic nuclei, outside those regions that are involved in the processing of the sensory information, still remains in the realm of speculation. The latter have been the primary focus of thalamic investigations, whereas other regions have received little attention especially in primates. Complexity of the thalamic structure that does not lend itself to easy experimentation, lack of agreement among investigators on thalamic parcelations and nomenclature, unavailability of atlases, especially in primates, that provide not only maps of the nuclear outlines but cytoar...
