Singh didn't just name the basal ganglia; he explained their circuitry as a loop—cortex to striatum to pallidum to thalamus and back to cortex.

"Read this," he would say. "Not the others. This one."

On one side: a diagram of a damaged spinothalamic tract. On the other: the clinical finding—loss of pain and temperature on the opposite side, two segments below the lesion. He explained why the fibers cross. He explained where they cross. He made the three-dimensional architecture of the nervous system click into place.
