Fig 9

A) Location of the basal ganglia in an axial cartoon view of the brain. B) Basal ganglia connectivity. Arrows indicate direction of connectivity. Glutamatergic (Glu) structures are shown in rose, GABAergic nuclei are shown in cyan, and the dopaminergic (DA) nucleus is shown in green. STN, subthalamic nucleus; SNC, substantia nigra pars compacta; GPe, global pallidus external; GPi, global pallidus internal; SNr, Substantia nigra; MLR, midbrain locomotor region; diencephalon locomotor region.
