Functions of basal ganglia include
A. Planning and voluntary movementsB. Sensory integration
C. Short term memory
D. Coordination of motor functions
E. Pain perception
Answer. A. Planning and voluntary movements
• Functions of basal Ganglia
— Planning and programming of
movements.
— Subconscious execution of learned
patterns of movement
— Cognitive control of sequences of
motor patterns
• Co-ordination of motor functions — by
