Abstract
Mood disorders, including mania and depression, have been linked to abnormal cortical metabolism. For example, studies of patients with primary depressive disorders have consistently demonstrated frontal dysfunction (1). These frontal areas project to subcortical areas, traversing distinct functionally segregated parallel corticostriatopallidothalamocortical (CSPTC) circuits, which project back to the frontal lobe (2). Information processed in these CSPTC pathways can profoundly influence frontal function in a manner consistent with observed depressive pathophysiology (3,4). Because the globus pallidus (GP) is positioned at the heart of CSPTC circuitry, the relation of the pallidum to depressive disorders is worth considering. Consequently, this chapter explores this relationship from hodological and clinical perspectives.
