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.
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.
The basal ganglia is involved in initiating movement and inhibiting unnecessary motor outputs from reaching the other parts of the motor system. In parkinsons the substantia nigra of the basal ganglia is destroyed, allowing these extra motor inputs through, hence the jerky, constant movements. The cerebellum co-ordinates all muscle movements so that fluid movements can take place. If you need to pick up a pen, your cerebellum will co-ordinate all the movements of all the muscles involved so that they happen at the correct amount and time, and in the correct sequence. Your cerebellum also controls anti-gravity muscles, which are responsible for maintaining correct balance and posture, which they do without concious input.

The few islands of gray matter within the interior of the cerebrum are made up of neuron cell bodies and unmyelinated axons. These areas of gray matter act as the central processing unit of the brain. Many things can affect this gray matter, such as, smoking, child abuse, alcoholism, and drugs.
