Abstract
One of the most interesting neuroanatomical findings in the last ten years is the link between the basal ganglia and the supplementary motor area (SMA). Schell and Strick (1984) have described the SMA as the projection area from parts of the ventrolateral thalamic complex such as the VL0 or VA which do not receive projections from the cerebellar nuclei but from the pallidum. This pallido-thalamocortical pathway is part of the basal ganglia motor loop described by Alexander et al. (1986) which is involved in motor control.
