Wave-like dopamine dynamics as a mechanism for spatiotemporal credit assignment
Significant evidence supports the view that dopamine shapes learning by encoding reward
prediction errors. However, it is unknown whether striatal targets receive tailored dopamine …

Specific populations of basal ganglia output neurons target distinct brain stem areas while collateralizing throughout the diencephalon
Basal ganglia play a central role in regulating behavior, but the organization of their outputs
to other brain areas is incompletely understood. We investigate the largest output nucleus …
