Basal Ganglia is a group of nuclei in the brain, responsible for motor control, cognition, emotions, and learning.

Mnemonic: <B>asal <Gang>lia. I came up with the words Bee gang. We can imagine a person trying to learn how to dance, unsuccessfully, next to a bee hive. The gang of bees notices him and his sudden movements are making them angry so they decide to attack.
