Our original review,“Heterogeneity and Diversity of Striatal GABAergic Interneurons,” to
which this is an invited update, was published in December, 2010 in Frontiers is …

Striatal cholinergic interneurons (ChIs) are central for the processing and reinforcement of
reward‐related behaviors that are negatively affected in states of altered dopamine …

Striatal dopamine encodes reward, with recent work showing that dopamine release occurs
in spatiotemporal waves. However, the mechanism of dopamine waves is unknown. Here …

Glial cells can be in vivo reprogrammed into functional neurons in the adult CNS; however,
the process by which this reprogramming occurs is unclear. Here, we show that a distinct …

To understand striatal function, it is essential to know the functional organization of the
numerous inputs targeting the diverse population of striatal neurons. Using optogenetics, we …

The purpose of this review is to bridge the gap between earlier literature on striatal
cholinergic interneurons and mechanisms of microcircuit interaction demonstrated with the …

Dystonia is a movement disorder of both genetic and non-genetic causes, which typically
results in twisted posturing due to abnormal muscle contraction. Evidence from dystonia …

The striatum and the subthalamic nucleus (STN) constitute the input stage of the basal
ganglia (BG) network and together innervate BG downstream structures using GABA and …

The striatum constitutes the main input structure of the basal ganglia and receives two major
excitatory glutamatergic inputs, from the cortex and the thalamus. Excitatory cortico‐and …

Highlights•The striatum acts as a 'hub'that receives afferent inputs from multiple
pathways.•Recent studies have characterized several new types of striatal interneurons.• …
