Pallidum
The globus pallidus, also known as the pallidum, is an important nucleus of the basal ganglia. It is a motor nucleus of the extrapyramidal system involved in the regulation of movement. The pallidum has an inhibitory and an excitatory part. The Latin name pallidus – pale – refers to the color of this nucleus.
