The striatum integrates information from multiple brain regions to shape motor learning. The
two major projection cell types in striatum target different downstream basal ganglia targets …

The basal ganglia are known to control actions and modulate movements. Neuronal activity
in the two efferent pathways of the dorsal striatum is critical for appropriate behavioral …

The direct and indirect efferent pathways from striatum ultimately reconverge to influence
basal ganglia output nuclei, which in turn regulate behavior via thalamocortical and …

The dorsal striatum integrates inputs from multiple brain areas to coordinate voluntary
movements, associative plasticity, and reinforcement learning. Its projection neurons consist …

The dorsal striatum, with its functional microcircuits galore, serves as the primary gateway of
the basal ganglia and is known to play a key role in implicit learning. Initially, excitatory …

The acquisition and execution of motor skills are mediated by a distributed motor network,
spanning cortical and subcortical brain areas. The sensorimotor striatum is an important cog …

The dorsal striatum, which consists of the caudate and putamen, is the gateway to the basal
ganglia. It receives convergent excitatory afferents from cortex and thalamus and forms the …

A classic view of the striatum holds that activity in direct and indirect pathways oppositely
modulates motor output. Whether this involves direct control of movement, or reflects a …

The synaptic pathways in the striatum are central to basal ganglia functions including motor
control, learning and organization, action selection, acquisition of motor skills, cognitive …

After more than a century of work concentrating on the motor functions of the basal ganglia,
new ideas have emerged, suggesting that the basal ganglia also have major functions in …
