• Describe the basal ganglia direct pathway
• Describe the basal ganglia Indirect pathway

good to note that the lateral and medial Global pallidus pathways have different connections

and only the medial global pallidus can direct signals to the thalamus

when the indirect pathway happens it goes through the lateral global pallidus - subthalamus - medial global pallidus - thalamus (INDIRECT)

• Understand the anatomical location of the basal ganglia, and the way in which other stuctures connect with them

The thalamus is a paired gray matter structure of the diencephalon located near the centre of the brain. It is above the midbrain or mesencephalon, allowing for nerve fibre connections to the cerebral cortex in all directions
