Fig. 6: Basal ganglia loops and their associated behaviors.

A Overview of motor, associative and limbic basal ganglia loops with their associated types of behaviors (top) and corresponding anatomy of the associative loop (blue) in human (left) and rat (right). B Disruption of cortico-striatal plasticity in motor and associative loops following degeneration of the substantia nigra pars compacta.
