    Im not sure what your question is but both of these photos show an incomplete list of what the basal nuclei consist of which is: The basal ganglia (aka basal nuclei) include the striatum, (caudate nucleus and putamen, nucleus accumbens and olfactory tubercle), the globus pallidus, the ventral pallidum, the substantia nigra, and the subthalamic nucleus.
