The globus pallidus and thalamic artery (a. pallidothalamica) is a small artery that connects the globus pallidus to the thalamus. It is a branch of the internal carotid artery and passes through the brain stem.
The globus pallidus is part of the midbrain and is responsible for controlling body movements. The thalamus is the center for processing sensory information coming from the senses. The globus pallidus and thalamic artery provides communication between these two structures, allowing them to interact and coordinate their functions.
The artery of the globus pallidus and thalamus is important for the normal functioning of the brain. Its dysfunction can lead to various diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Various methods are used to treat such diseases, including surgery, pharmacological agents and neuroprotective agents. However, there is still no universal treatment method that can help with all types of neurodegenerative diseases.
In conclusion, the globus pallidus and thalamic artery plays an important role in brain function and its disruption can lead to serious consequences. Therefore, it is important to understand its functions and mechanisms of operation in order to develop effective treatments for neurodegenerative diseases and improve the quality of life of patients.
