Transcranial (electro) magnetic stimulation (TMS) is currently the method of choice to non-
invasively induce neural activity in the human brain. A single transcranial stimulus induces a …

Effective motor performance is important for surviving and thriving, and skilled movement is
critical in many activities. Much theorizing over the past few decades has focused on how …

Corticostriatal connections play a central role in developing appropriate goal-directed
behaviors, including the motivation and cognition to develop appropriate actions to obtain a …

Multimodal evidence suggests that brain regions accumulate information over timescales
that vary according to anatomical hierarchy. Thus, these experimentally defined “temporal …

The striatum integrates excitatory inputs from the cortex and the thalamus to control diverse
functions. Although the striatum is thought to consist of sensorimotor, associative and limbic …

Classically, the basal ganglia have been considered to have a role in producing habitual
and goal-directed behaviours. In this article, we review recent evidence that expands this …

Cognitive neuroscience has highlighted the cerebral cortex while often overlooking
subcortical structures. This cortical proclivity is found in basic and translational research on …

The basal ganglia, thalamus, and cerebral cortex form an interconnected network implicated
in many neurological and psychiatric illnesses. A better understanding of cortico-subcortical …

Background Studies using positron emission tomography to image striatal dopamine
function, have demonstrated that individuals with schizophrenia display increases in …

Why has diffusion MRI become a principal modality for mapping connectomes in vivo? How
do different image acquisition parameters, fiber tracking algorithms and other …
