• Stroke

  Hemorrhagic stroke This less common type of stroke accounts for about 40 percent of all stroke deaths, according to the National Stroke Association. [medicalnewstoday.com]

  This is why basal ganglia strokes are often hemorrhagic strokes as well. About 13 percent of all strokes are hemorrhagic strokes. An ischemic stroke can also affect the basal ganglia. [healthline.com]

• Tremor

  The tremor has been erroneously considered a tremor at rest, but actually it is a tremor of postural or resting muscle tension. [dartmouth.edu]

  For example, the thumb and forefingers will move back-and-forth against each other in a characteristic tremor called “pill-rolling tremor.” The tremor stops when the body part engages in active movement. [nba.uth.tmc.edu]

  Dystonias With one exception, the dystonias are uncommon disorders. They are characterized by torsion spasms of the limbs, trunk, and neck. [dartmouth.edu]

  Moreover, the patient’s clinical symptoms were relatively nonspecific, although his slowly progressing hemiparesis and mental retardation in addition to dystonia are distinct features of idiopathic torsion dystonia. [ajnr.org]

  • CLINICAL FEATURES : dysarthria, dystonia, tremors, ataxia, Parkinsonian symptoms, and psychiatric problems. [slideshare.net]

• Excitement

  Thus, the loss of the nigrostriatal dopaminergic pathway upsets the fine balance of excitation and inhibition in the basal ganglia and reduces the excitation of motor cortex. [nba.uth.tmc.edu]

  Another shorter indirect pathway has been proposed, which involves cortical excitation of the subthalamic nucleus resulting in direct excitation of the GPe, and inhibition of the thalamus. [en.wikipedia.org]

  Therefore, when the tonic activity of dopamine is lost, the motor and premotor cortex are less excitable and the patient is less mobile, with slower responses and less spontaneous movement. [dartmouth.edu]
