- The striatum has an (excitatory/inhibitory) connection to the globus pallidus external. Activation of that connection (increases/decreases) activity in the globus pallidus internal, ultimately (promoting/suppressing) movement.Group of answer choicesExcitatory, increases, promotingExcitatory, increases, suppressingInhibitory, decreases, promotingInhibitory, decreases, suppressingInhibitory, increases, suppressing Is my reasoning correct? basal ganglia circuitry: The striatum (caudate nucleus and putamen) sends inhibitory projections to the globus pallidus externus (GPe). Therefore, the connection between the striatum and GPe is inhibitory. The GPe sends inhibitory projections to the subthalamic nucleus (STN). The STN sends excitatory projections to the globus pallidus internus (GPi). The GPi, in turn, sends inhibitory projections to the thalamus. When the striatum activates its connection to the GPe (due to receiving excitatory input from the cortex), it inhibits the GPe.…arrow_forwardWhich serous membrane(s) is/are found in the thoracic cavity?arrow_forwardBriefly describe the function of the following: - corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosumarrow_forward
