Abstract
The importance of the basal ganglia for clinical, systems, and cognitive neuroscience is unrivaled. Surprisingly, these structures, which seem to have so many different functions in the human brain, are highly conserved across vertebrates. The subtle differences between species, however, may tell us a great deal about the evolution of the human brain.
