The striatal and pallidal complexes are basal ganglia structures that orchestrate learning
and execution of flexible behavior. Models of how the basal ganglia subserve these …

The nucleus accumbens (NAc), a central component of the brain's reward circuitry, has been
implicated in a wide range of behaviors and emotional states. Emerging evidence, primarily …

Interneurons in the medial prefrontal cortex (PFC) regulate local neural activity to influence
cognitive, motivated, and emotional behaviors. Parvalbumin-expressing (PV+) interneurons …

Clinical and preclinical studies have identified somatostatin (SST)-positive interneurons as
critical elements that regulate the vulnerability to stress-related psychiatric disorders …

The successful pursuit of goals requires the coordinated execution and termination of
actions that lead to positive outcomes. This process relies on motivational states that are …

Ventral subiculum (vSUB) is the major output region of ventral hippocampus (vHIPP) and
sends major projections to nucleus accumbens medial shell (NAcMS). Hyperactivity of the …

Clinical and preclinical studies have identified somatostatin (SST)-positive interneurons as
key elements that regulate the vulnerability to stress-related psychiatric disorders …

The nucleus accumbens (NAc) and its afferents are critical for processing reward-related
information in the brain. While it is known that the ventral hippocampus (vHIPP) sends the …

Learning and memory are mediated by changes in synaptic and neuronal function within
brain circuits, and is supported by dynamic waves of stimulus-dependent transcription in the …
