Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The globus pallidus is a part of the basal ganglia, which is responsible for regulating and modulating motor control, emotions, and cognition. The main neurotransmitter released by the globus pallidus onto the thalamus is GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), which is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that suppresses the activity of the thalamus. This helps to reduce the output from the thalamus to other parts of the brain, resulting in a decrease in motor activity and a decrease in the transmission of sensory information. Thus, the correct answer is D) GABA.
