Modulation of striatal projection systems by dopamine
CR Gerfen, DJ Surmeier - Annual review of neuroscience, 2011 - annualreviews.org
The basal ganglia are a chain of subcortical nuclei that facilitate action selection. Two striatal
projection systems—so-called direct and indirect pathways—form the functional backbone of …

The asynchronous state in cortical circuits
A Renart, J De La Rocha, P Bartho, L Hollender… - science, 2010 - science.org
Correlated spiking is often observed in cortical circuits, but its functional role is controversial.
It is believed that correlations are a consequence of shared inputs between nearby neurons …

Dopamine-mediated regulation of corticostriatal synaptic plasticity
The striatum represents the main input into the basal ganglia. Neurons projecting from the
striatum receive a large convergence of afferents from all areas of the cortex and transmit …
