Inferior Colliculus


Functions

  • action selection
  • motor control
  • procedural learning
  • habit formation (bruxism)
  • eye movements
  • emotional functions

Currently popular theories implicate the basal ganglia primarily in action selection, that is, the decision of which of several possible behaviors to execute at a given time.


Structures

  • striatal
    • internal capsule (white matter)
    • caudate
    • putamen
  • pallidal
    • external (globus pallidus)
    • internal (entopeduncular nucleus)
  • nigral
  • subthalamic
