Blooming basal ganglia illustration (IMAGE)
Caption
The illustration of a blooming basal ganglia celebrates the vital role of this brain circuit in movement, adaptive behavior, and neurological disease. Like the growing floral forms in the image, the large volume of research in this paper package expands our understanding of the basal ganglia across species in health and disease. The vibrant colors reflect the vast cellular diversity revealed through the analysis of approximately 24 million cells, while the interconnected botanical elements symbolize the collective research effort to create a unified view of this essential brain circuit.
