| Bridges of gray matter pass across the internal capsule, producing the striped appearance from which the corpus striatum derives its name. |
| These are important striate branches of the middle cerebral artery, destined for the corpus striatum, internal capsule and associated structures. |
| The principal mesencephalic projection to the striatum originates from the substantia nigra pars compacta. |
| The brain showed extensive neuronal loss and severe astrogliosis in the striatum and substantia nigra. |
| Atrophy is most marked in the corpus striatum of the basal ganglia, including the caudate and putamen. |
| The term corpus striatum refers to the caudate, putamen, and globus pallidus. |
