1
Q

What neurotransmitter is released by the striatum? To what structures?

A

GABA - to GPe/GPi & GABA to Substantia Nigra Pars Reticulata

2
Q

What neurotransmitter is released by the Globus Pallidus external? To what structure?

A

GABA to Subthalamic Nucleus

3
Q

What neurotransmitter is released by the Globus Pallidus internal? To what structure?

A

GABA to Thalamus

4
Q

What neurotransmitter is released by the Subthalamic Nucleus?

A

Glutamate to GPi

5
Q

What is the GPi normally doing to the Thalamus?

A

tonic inhibition

6
Q

What is the GPe normally doing to the Subthalamic Nucleus?

A

tonic inhibition

7
Q

What is the Substantia Nigra Reticulata normally doing to the Superior Colliculus?

A

tonic inhibition

8
Q

What neurotransmitter does the Substantia Nigra Pars Reticulata release? To what?

A

GABA to Superior Colliculus & Thalamus

9
Q

What neurotransmitter does the Substantia Nigra Pars Compacta release? To what?

A

Dopamine to Striatum

10
Q

What neurotransmitters are Striatum interneurons secreting?

A

Acetylcholine

11
Q

What is the Direct Pathway?

A

corticostriatal cells –> striatum –> GPi : disinhibition of thalamus & movement is initiated

12
Q

What is the Indirect Pathway?

A

corticaostriatal cells –> striatum –> GPe : disinhibition of Subthalamic Nucleus –> GPi : inhibition of Thalamus

13
Q

What is the Nigrostriatal Pathway?

A

SNcompacta –> striatum –> [direct pathway] (GPi : disinhibition of thalamus & movement initiated)

14
Q

What is the Striatonigral Pathway?

A

cortocstriatal cells –> striatum –> SNr : Disinhibition of Superior Colliculus resulting in saccadic eye movement (rapid, jerky eye movement)

15
Q

What is the Hyperdirect Pathway?

A

corticostriatal cells –> subthalamic nucleus –> GPi : inhibition of Thalamus (enhancing indirect pathway)

16
Q

What does the direct pathway do?

A

initiate movement

17
Q

What does the indirect pathway do?

A

inhibit movement

18
Q

What does the nigrostriatal pathway do?

A

lowers threshold fo rmovement

19
Q

What does the striatonigral pathway do?

A

control saccadic eye movement

20
Q

What does the hyperdirect pathway do?

A

facilitates indirect pathway
