Which of the following is NOT an accurate description of a process related to basal ganglia influence/striatal disinhibition?
A)The striatum receives a dopamine signal that produces different results when dopamine binds D1 as opposed to D2 receptors.
B)Striatal disinhibition can affect a wide range of motor behavior, including eye movements.
C)Neurons in the internal segment of the globus pallidus have a relatively high baseline firing rate, and the direct path of the striatum inhibits them.
D)Inhibition of the internal segment of the globus pallidus dampens cortical activity to decrease motor output.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The internal segment of the globus pallidus, when inhibited, actually facilitates cortical activity through a disinhibition mechanism, leading to an increase in motor output, not a decrease.
