text: Depending on which pathway is triggered, the signals then pass through a number of other nerve clusters in the basal ganglia (one of which is the globus pallidus) with the result that either basal ganglia releases the thalamus to trigger the muscle contraction (in the direct pathway) or prevents it from doing so (in the indirect pathway).
