In this book, the authors present current research in the study of the anatomy, functions and role in disease of the striatum. Topics discussed include the localization, processing and function of cholinesterases in striatum; impaired nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurotransmission in Huntingtons disease; behavioral and neurochemical interrelations between the striatum and the cerebellum; striatal dysfunction and social cognition and the effects of experience on striatal morphology.
