Parcellation of the Striatal Complex into Dorsal and Ventral Districts for Distinct Neurobiological Functions
The striatal complex of basal ganglia comprises two functionally distinct districts. The dorsal district controls motor and cognitive functions. The ventral district regulates the limbic function of motivation, reward and emotion. The dorsoventral parcellation of the striatum also is of clinical importance, as differential striatal pathophysiologies occur in Huntington’s disease,
