Key points

• To review the connections between the cortex and the basal ganglia and describe the intrinsic anatomical-functional organization of the basal ganglia.

• To review the involvement of the limbic territories of the striatum and pallidum in appetitive and aversive contexts.

• To review the implication of these territories in the expression and treatments.
