Projections from the substantia nigra and striatum traverse through the pallidum on the way to their targets. To date, in vivo characterization of these pathways remains elusive. Here we used high angular resolution diffusion imaging (N=138) to study the characteristics and structural subcompartments of the human pallidum. Our results show that the diffusion orientation distribution at the pallidum is asymmetrically oriented in a dorsolateral direction, consistent with the orientation of underlying fiber systems. Furthermore, compared to the outer pallidal segment, the internal segment has more peaks in the orientation distribution function and stronger anisotropy in the primary fiber direction, consistent with known cellular differences between the underlying nuclei. These differences in orientation, complexity, and degree of anisotropy are sufficiently robust to automatically segment the pallidal nuclei using diffusion properties. Thus the gray matter diffusion signal can be useful as an in vivo measure of the collective nigrostriatal and striatonigral pathways.

Recent advances in the observational characterization of young stellar objects (YSOs) with millimeter-wave aperture synthesis arrays and (sub)millimeter single dish telescopes are reviewed. Studies of circumstellar material with ∼arc second resolution, which have only become possible at these frequencies within the past few years and which can potentially probe all stages of the star formation process, are emphasized. Molecules that are sensitive to different routes of formation and modification are outlined, including comments about their utility in distinguishing between a variety of environments and histories in star-forming cloud cores.
