1. United in Diversity : A Physiological and Molecular Characterization of Subpopulations in the Basal Ganglia Circuitry
Abstract : The Basal Ganglia consist of a number of different nuclei that form a diverse circuitry of GABAergic, dopaminergic and glutamatergic neurons. This complex network is further organized in subcircuits that govern limbic and motor functions in humans and other vertebrates. READ MORE

2. Motion and Emotion : Functional In Vivo Analyses of the Mouse Basal Ganglia
Abstract : A major challenge in the field of neuroscience is to link behavior with specific neuronal circuitries and cellular events. One way of facing this challenge is to identify unique cellular markers and thus have the ability to, through various mouse genetics tools, mimic, manipulate and control various aspects of neuronal activity to decipher their correlation to behavior.

3. The subthalamic nucleus in motor and affective functions : An optogenetic in vivo-investigation
Abstract : The basal ganglia form a group of subcortical interconnected nuclei involved in motor, limbic and cognitive functions. According to the classical model of the basal ganglia, two main pathways exert opposing control over movement, one facilitating movement and the other suppressing movement. READ MORE

4. Neuronal Networks of Movement : Slc10a4 as a Modulator & Dmrt3 as a Gait-keeper
Abstract : Nerve cells are organized into complex networks that comprise the building blocks of our nervous system. Neurons communicate by transmitting messenger molecules released from synaptic vesicles. Alterations in neuronal circuitry and synaptic signaling contribute to a wide range of neurological conditions, often with consequences for movement. READ MORE

5. Functional Analysis of the Vesicular Glutamate Transporter 2 in Specific Neuronal Circuits of the Brain
Abstract : A key issue in neuroscience is to determine the connection between neuronal circuits and behaviour. In the adult brain, all neuronal circuits include a glutamatergic component. READ MORE
