A region consisting of 3 clusters of neurons (called the
caudate nucleus, putamen, and the globus pallidus) located at the base of the brain
that are responsible for involuntary movements such as tremors, athetosis, and chorea.
The basal ganglia are abnormal in a number of important neurologic conditions including
Parkinson disease and Huntington disease. The term "basal ganglia" refers to the
fact that this region is in the "basement" of the brain.
