The basal ganglia is input to the ____ nucleus of the thalamus which then sends its signals to the ____
|
|
VPL; somatosensory cortex
|
|
|
VPM; somatosensory cortex
|
|
|
LGN; Calcarine sulcus
|
|

VL; motor cortex
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The basal ganglia (BG) integrates information from a wide array of cortical, thalamic and brainstem inputs, and subsequently influences motor circuits through two major output pathways–a direct projection to brainstem circuitry, and a distinct projection to several nuclei in the motor thalamus [1–3].
Detailed explanation-2: -Finally, the ventral lateral nucleus receives input from the cerebellum and basal ganglia. Thus, it handles motor information and sends it to the precentral (motor) cortex.
