the most pronounced increases in glucose use were observed in those ipsilateral areas of the brain to which the lesioned striatum normally projects ( globus pallidus , entopeduncular nucleus and substantia nigra pars reticulata ) , although several other brain regions with known anatomical connections to the striato-pallido-nigral system were also affected , most notably in the thalamus and epithalamus .
