title: [Morphological analysis of information processing in basal ganglia of mammals].
abstract: The article reviews published and own data on special features of organization of afferent cortical and infracortical correctional systems of the total striopallidaric nuclear complex in various species of mammals. The article focuses on analysis of organization of these flows in a dog being a classical object of behavioural experiments and a rare object of neuromorphological studies. It was discovered that the general trend towards segregated and converged flows of functionally different information at the level of striopallidum is retained in all tested mammals, being an evidence of the fundamental nature of the discussed principles of organization of the projection systems of basal ganglia. The reviewed morphological data confirm reliability of the presented concept of basal ganglia functioning.
