The putamen (/ p j u ˈ t eɪ m ə n /; from Latin, meaning "nutshell") is a subcortical nucleus with a rounded structure, in the basal ganglia nuclear group. It is located at the base of the forebrain and above the midbrain. The putamen and caudate nucleus together form the dorsal striatum.

2024年9月30日 · From the graceful movements of a ballet dancer to the quick reflexes of a race car driver, the putamen silently works its magic, ensuring our actions flow with precision and purpose. But what exactly is this enigmatic structure, and why should we care about it?

2023年1月30日 · The putamen, along with some other brain regions, mainly orbitofrontal cortices in the left and right hemispheres, is involved in the recognition of a mother’s own infant versus other infants, demonstrating the significant role of striatal structures in maternal behavior and love.

The putamen (and striatum as a whole) is thought to act as a critical input area for the basal ganglia. In other words, to accomplish their movement-related functions, the basal ganglia need to receive information from the cerebral cortex about movements that you want to make.

2021年12月27日 · The putamen (plural: putamina) is a paired structure and one of the nuclei that make up the basal ganglia. Together with the caudate nucleus, it may be referred to as the corpus striatum. The putamen is a round structure situated at the base of the forebrain and is the most lateral of the basal ganglia nuclei on axial section.

2023年10月30日 · The basal ganglia consist of five pairs of nuclei: caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus, subthalamic nucleus, and substantia nigra. These nuclei are grouped into broader clusters; The function of the basal ganglia is to fine-tune the voluntary movements.

2024年11月21日 · Striatocapsular infarcts, also known as basal ganglionic capsular infarcts are infarcts involving the caudate nucleus, putamen, and the internal capsule without any involvement of the cortex, usually caused by either a complete or …

We provided an overview of the genetic bases of putamen volume and explored potential mechanisms whereby altered putamen volume manifests in these neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions, with a specific focus on dopaminergic processes.

putamen contributes to sensorimotor function. We then review evidence highlighting the wide array of. cognitive processes to which the putamen makes a contribution.

The right putamen is a part of the brain located in the right hemisphere. It's one of the structures that make up the basal ganglia, which are responsible for controlling various functions such as movement and learning.
