Striatummal
Striatummal is a term that refers to the striatum, a major component of the basal ganglia in the brain. The striatum is a subcortical structure that plays a crucial role in a variety of motor and non-motor functions. It is primarily composed of the caudate nucleus and the putamen, which are further subdivided into the dorsal and ventral striatum. These regions are heavily interconnected with other basal ganglia nuclei, the cerebral cortex, and the thalamus, forming complex neural circuits.
The dorsal striatum, particularly the putamen, is mainly involved in motor control, including the initiation and
The ventral striatum, which includes the nucleus accumbens and the olfactory tubercle, is more closely associated
