Grey matter near the base of the cerebral hemispheres, consisting of the corpus striatum (caudate nucleus and lenticular nucleus [globus pallidus and putamen]), claustrum, and amygdaloid nucleus. The basal ganglia are involved in the subconscious regulation of voluntary movement, and disorders in this region cause dyskinesias.A mass of gray matter beneath the third ventricle consisting of the caudate, lentiform, and amygdaloid nuclei and the claustrum.
