[The structure and connections of the basal ganglia. The striatum].

On the base of personal studies there were reviewed contemporary data about the internal organization of mammal striatum (n. caudatus, putamen): of their histological and histochemical differentiation, neuronal content, mediators of their neurons, and of the intrinsic and extrinsic connections of these structural elements: there were put forward some hypothesis about functional specificity of these elements and about the arrangement of striatal neuronal network.
