Indirect pathway
NEURONAL CIRCUIT THROUGH THE BASAL GANGLIA AND SEVERAL ASSOCIATED NUCLEI WITHIN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM WHICH HELPS TO PREVENT UNWANTED MUSCLE CONTRACTIONS FROM COMPETING WITH VOLUNTARY MOVEMENTS
Indirect pathway of movement
The indirect pathway, sometimes known as the indirect pathway of movement, is a neuronal circuit through the basal ganglia and several associated nuclei within the central nervous system (CNS) which helps to prevent unwanted muscle contractions from competing with voluntary movements. It operates in conjunction with the direct pathway.
