has soma location has soma location glutamatergic neuron central nervous system neuron glutamatergic neuron of the basal ganglia The glutametergic neurons in the basal ganglia are part of a series of different circuits such as the corticolstriatal circuit, which is involved in regulating voluntary movements. The subthalamic nucleus circuit, which is involved in modulating the output of the basal ganglia, particularly in controlling movement initiation and inhibition. The thalamocortical loop, which is involved in refining motor movements and integrating sensory information with motor commanding. A glutametergic neuron with its soma located in a basal ganglia. This neuron type is involved in motor control, decision making and learning. basal ganglion
