The non-primate ''globus pallidus'' is usually considered homologous to the primate ''external segment of the globus pallidus'', whereas the non-primate ''entopeduncular nucleus'' is often considered the homolog of the ''internal segment of the globus pallidus''.
The globus pallidus is traversed by numerous myelinated nerve fibres that give it the pale appearance for which it is named.
The internal segment of the globus pallidus is one of the output nuclei of the basal ganglia (the other being the substantia nigra pars reticulata).

 GridShib: About
Using roles such as these, virtual organizations are better able to maintain the integrity of their processes and data.
The cyberinfrastructure and software systems used to support virtual organizations are called Grids, and the Globus Toolkit is a commonly deployed foundation for Grids.
While today's Grids have basic security services to support virtual organizations, the size and complexity of the virtual organizations they can support is limited by the burden placed on resource managers to manage privileges based on the identity of each user in the virtual organization.

However, other Globus components can also be interfaced, mainly: integration with OGSA-DAI services in the pre-wrapper phase to access databases; integration with RLS and DRS in the prolog and epilog stages to access replicas; and integration with my-proxy to refresh credentials (current versions of Execution and File Transfer MADs refresh user credentials).
Globus Toolkit services provide a uniform, secure and reliable interface to heterogeneous computing platforms managed by different local resource management systems.
The first step in a coherent strategy for measuring these aspects of Globus software is to define an initial set of metrics that we will use to begin tracking the state of the software and its use over time.
