Editors Moretti, Torre and Antonello (physiology and pathology, U. di Trieste, Italy) have collected the latest research on the role of the basal ganglia and thalamus in cognition and behavior, including much of their own work in the field. Written for researchers and students, these articles explain the anatomy and physiology of the basal ganglia, thalamus, white matter and associated circuits before moving on to such topics as behavioral conditioning and deep brain stimulus. The role of the basal ganglia and thalamus in Parkinson's disease, liver disease and even apathy are discussed.
