Which of these statements about the basal nuclei is true?a. They are located in the cerebrum.b. They contain the caudate nucleus.c. They are involved in motor control.d. They are part of the extrapyramidal system.e. All of these are true.
Which of the following statements about the basal nuclei are correct? (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY) a.) The basal nuclei get information from only parts of the cerebral cortex that are involved in movement planning b.) Parkinson's disease is a condition that affects the normal functioning of the basal nuclei c.)
