external globus pallidus





























the external globus pallidus (gpe) (or lateral globus pallidus) combines with the internal globus pallidus (gpi) to form the globus pallidus, an anatomical subset of the basal ganglia. globus pallidus means "pale globe" in latin, indicating its appearance. the external globus pallidus is the segment of the globus pallidus that is relatively further (lateral) from the midline of the brain.





























the gpe gabaergic neurons, allow for its inhibitory function and projects axons to the subthalamic nucleus (in the diencephalon), the striatum, internal globus pallidus (gpi) and substantia nigra pars reticulata.
