Relating to or involving both the cerebral cortex and the striatum (a region in the basal ganglia of the brain).
From cortex + striatum (Latin striatus 'furrowed'), combining two neuroanatomical terms. Used in neuroscience to describe neural pathways or connections between these two brain regions involved in movement and motivation.
Corticostriate pathways are like the brain's communication highways between the thinking part and the movement part—damage to these connections is involved in Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders.
