We continue our delve into our subcortical structures with the first key component involved in movement: Basal Ganglia.
Dr Michael Sughrue is a Neurosurgery Professor at Columbia University and Co-founder & Chief Medical Officer at Omniscient Neurotechnology. In this talk he will cover the following ILOs:
- Understand the anatomical location of the subcortical nuclei (cerebrum, diencephalon and midbrain)
- Understand the function of the subcortical nuclei (caudate nucleus, lentiform nucleus, subthalamic nucleus and substantia nigra)
- To be able to identify key nuclei on MR imaging (subthalamic nucleus, red nucleus and substantia nigra)
- Briefly acknowledges the various movement disorders and associated structures
