Functions of Basal Ganglia?

• Maintain circadian rhythm

• Helps relay messages from the cortex and cerebellum

• Control of voluntary motor movements

• A messenger of neurological info

Coordinates fine bone and muscle voluntary movements: i.e. finger tips.

• amygdala

• hypothalamus

• pineal gland

• basal ganglia

This are of the brain controls voluntary movement.

• Brain Stem

• Cerebellum

• Motor Cortex

• Spinal Cord
