A remarkable series of new findings support the view that the basal ganglia are essential for some forms of learning-related plasticity. Other new findings are challenging some of the basic tenets of the field as it now stands. Combined with the new evidence on learning-related functions of the basal ganglia, these studies suggest that the basal ganglia are parts of a brain-wide set of adaptive neural systems promoting optimal motor and cognitive control. The basal ganglia: learning new tricks and loving it. AM Graybiel doi:10.1016/j.conb.2005.10.006 Curr Opin Neurobiol, Vol. 15, No. 6.
