Nigrostriatal refers to a tract of neurons and nerve fibers in the brain that originates in the substantia nigra, a region in the midbrain, and projects to the caudate nucleus, a part of the basal ganglia in the forebrain. This pathway plays a crucial role in motor control and is particularly affected in Parkinson's disease, where the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the nigrostriatal pathway leads to the classical motor symptoms of the disease, such as tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia.
