Basal ganglia calcification, also known as Fahr disease, is a rare genetically dominant, inherited neurological disorder characterized by abnormal deposits of calcium in areas of the brain that control movement.Build-up in your basal ganglia can also happen because of infection, problems with your parathyroid gland, and for other reasons. When it happens this way, it is also known as basal ganglia calcification, but is different from the genetic form of the disease.
As basal ganglia is involved in controlling your muscle activity, any lesions or damages to your basal ganglia might cause hypertonia and/or various abnormal involuntary and purposeless movements. Some examples of diseases that are related to basal ganglia are parkinson's disease, chorea, athetosis and hemiballismus.

In the central nervous system, a collection of neuron cell bodies is called a nucleus.In the peripheral nervous system, a collection of neuron cell bodies is called a ganglion (plural: ganglia).The one exception to this rule that you may have encountered is the basal ganglia in the brain. Indeed, the basal ganglia technically should be called the basal nuclei, but they were named prior to the terms being defined and the name has stuck.
All vertebrates have ganglia of some sort, but there are many different types of ganglia, from dorsal and spinal to autonomic, basal, sympathetic, and other types. Humans have basal ganglia, which makes up a section of the brain.
What is the most significant neurotransmitter in the basal ganglia? dopamine
In vertebrates the basal ganglia is located in the base of the forebrain. The basal ganglia is associated with a variety of functions such as voluntary motor control, eye habits and emotional functions.

The Basal Nuclei or the Basal Ganglia
The plural of ganglion is ganglia or ganglions.

Disruptions in other portions of the basal ganglia are thought to cause tics, tremors , dystonia, and a variety of other movement disorders
basal ganglia
Not really. Basal ganglia are a grouping of nerve cell bodies that are associated with various parts of the brain, mostly for sensory input, and one of these associations is the cerbrum.
The basal ganglia send output messages to the motor cortex, helping to initiate movements, regulate repetitive or patterned movements, and control muscle tone
