Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In the direct pathway, the cerebral cortex sends excitatory projections to the striatum. Then, the striatum sends inhibitory projections to the internal globus pallidus. Then, the internal globus pallidus sends inhibitory projections to the thalamus, which is usually in an active state.
Detailed explanation-2: -The internal globus pallidus contains GABAergic neurons, which allow for its inhibitory function.
