Just wondering what the water cooler chat is around the Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, & Wisconsin state district attorneys’ offices this fine morning.

***Cerebellum + Basal Ganglia***

In my opinion, one of most fascinating system #Neuroscience

Here is an extract from their abstract:

"Even in the absence of movement, the cerebellum and basal ganglia are known to be activated during rhythm perception. To understand their roles, we examined neuronal activity in monkeys performing behavioral tasks in which sensory and motor processing of rhythm were spatially separated. We found that neuronal activity in the cerebellum varied with the location of periodic visual stimuli and that in the striatum varied with the direction of prepared movement. These results suggest that the flow of information from sensory prediction to motor preparation during rhythm processing is upstream in the cerebellum and downstream in the basal ganglia, although there is considerable overlap."

The basal ganglia and the cerebellum: nodes in an integrated network - PubMed

The basal ganglia and the cerebellum are considered to be distinct subcortical systems that perform unique functional operations. The outputs of the basal ganglia and the cerebellum influence many of the same cortical areas but do so by projecting to distinct thalamic nuclei. As a consequence, the t …
