Abstract：
:The basal ganglia participate in motor functions and are implicated in the pathophysiology of movement disorders. It has been shown in primates that the activity of many neurons in one of the basal ganglia output nuclei, the internal segment of the globus pallidus, changes with active or passive movements. The involvement of the second major output nucleus, the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr), in movement is less well established. In this study, the electrophysiologic activity of SNr neurons was studied in two awake Rhesus monkeys while the animals were examined and while they performed elbow movements in two different motor tasks (n = 261 cells). Responses to examination were uncommon and subtle. Twenty-one percent of neurons responded to the target step in a step tracking task, mostly with anticipatory responses, although some cells showed directional, movement-related activity. In a delayed-response task, 17% of cells showed anticipatory activity to an instruction cue preceding the target jump, 11% responded directly to the cue, and 11% showed long-lasting postcue activity. Movement-related responses were seen in 21% in this task. Reward responses occurred in 10% of neurons. Responses to more than one event were common. The results demonstrate that few neurons in the SNr respond directly to passive or active movements, but a large proportion shows responses that may be related to memory, attention, or movement preparation. While internal pallidal segment neurons may be preferentially concerned with controlling elemental movement parameters, neurons in the SNr may be more involved in higher motor functions or nonmotor aspects of behavior.
