===Functional connectivity===
The functional connectivity, measured by regional co-activation during functional neuroimaging studies, is broadly consistent with the parallel processing models of basal ganglia function.  The putamen was generally coactivated with motor areas such as the [[supplementary motor area]], caudal [[anterior cingulate cortex]] and [[primary motor cortex]], while the caudate and rostral putamen were more frequently coactivated with the rostral ACC and DLPFC.  The ventral striatum was significantly associated with the amygdala and hippocampus, which although was not included in the first formulations of basal ganglia models, has been an addition to more recent models.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Postuma RB, Dagher A | title = Basal ganglia functional connectivity based on a meta-analysis of 126 positron emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging publications | journal = Cerebral Cortex | volume = 16 | issue = 10 | pages = 1508–1521 | date = October 2006 | pmid = 16373457 | doi = 10.1093/cercor/bhj088 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
