Basal ganglia: Direct and indirect pathway of movement

[Kia17]

From the striatum, the two main pathways from the basal ganglia arise, which are called the direct and indirect pathway. The direct pathway is excitatory and is in charge for the initial part of the movements, while the indirect pathway is inhibitory and it prevents the unnecessary movements.
