RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 The casual interaction in human basal ganglia. Scientific Reports A1 Morales Pérez, Ingrid A1 Rodríguez Sabaté, Clara A1 González, Albano A1 Pérez Darias, Juan Carlos A1 Rodríguez, Manuel A2 Ciencias Médicas Básicas A2 Grupo de Neurobiología y Neurología Experimental AB The experimental study of the human brain has important restrictions, particularly in the case of basal ganglia, subcortical centers whose activity can be recorded with fMRI methods but cannot be directly modified. Similar restrictions occur in other complex systems such as those studied by Earth system science. The present work studied the cause/effect relationships between human basal ganglia with recently introduced methods to study climate dynamics. Data showed an exhaustive (identifying basal ganglia interactions regardless of their linear, non-linear or complex nature) and selective (avoiding spurious relationships) view of basal ganglia activity, showing a fast functional reconfiguration of their main centers during the execution of voluntary motor tasks. The methodology used here offers a novel view of the human basal ganglia which expands the perspective provided by the classical basal ganglia model and may help to understand BG activity under normal and pathological conditions.
