	Discovery Health :: Calculators :: Basal Metabolic Rate
		You expend energy no matter what you're doing, even when sleeping.
		Thus your Basal Metabolic Rate is the number of calories you'd burn if you stayed in bed all day - a tempting idea for some.
		If you've noticed that every year, it becomes harder to eat whatever you want and stay slim, you've also learned that your Basal Metabolic Rate decreases as you age.

	Basal Ganglia and Cerebellum
		The basal ganglia and cerebellum are large collections of nuclei that modify movement on a minute-to-minute basis.
		The basal ganglia are a collection of nuclei deep to the white matter of cerebral cortex.
		The function of the basal ganglia is often described in terms of a "brake hypothesis".

		Basal Cell Carcinoma at 20x Magnification - Since the majority of an individual’s lifetime exposure to the harmful rays of the sun is acquired during childhood and the latent period between intense exposure to sunlight and the onset of basal cell carcinoma is 20 to 50 years, preventative measures are best begun in one’s youth.

	Basal ganglia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Additional structures that later became associated with the basal ganglia are the "body of Luys" (1865) (nucleus of Luys on the figure) or subthalamic nucleus, whose lesion was known to produce movement disorders.
		At the beginning of the 20th century, the basal ganglia system was associated with motor functions, as lesions of these areas would often result in disordered movement in humans (chorea, athetosis, Parkinson's disease).
		As it refers to a group of nuclei, the term "basal ganglia" is plural (the singular of ganglia is ganglion).
