Excerpt

The caudate nucleus (CN), as a part of the basal ganglia, interconnects with the prefrontal cortex (PFC), temporal cortex, frontal eye field, and cerebellum. These connections are involved in motor and cognitive functions [1]. Specifically, the prefronto-caudate tract is involved in apathy, anxiety, depression, and disinhibition [2]. Apathy is classically defined as a lack of feeling, emotion, interest and concern, and clinically presents as the absence of motivation, voluntary movement or speech [3]. Injury of the CN, PFC, or the prefronto-caudate tract in particular, connected to the medial PFC, and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is related to apathy [4, 5]. …
