GLOBUS PALLIDUS

• Most of the outflow of signals from the basal ganglia is channelled through globus pallidus en route to cortex or lower brain centres.
• Its activity is associated with tonic contractions of voluntary movements to effect discrete activities. The Globus pallidus and the putamen collectively form a structure, the Lenticular nucleus which resembles lens.
