  2. 1. Dissecting the intrastriatal neuronal circuitry that regulates direct and indirect striatal projections

    Author : Henrike Planert; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : basal ganglia;

    Abstract : The basal ganglia (BG) are a group of subcortical nuclei that are interconnected in multiple parallel cortico-BG-thalamocortical loops. They have been implicated in many functions, among them action control and motor learning. The striatum forms the main input nucleus of the BG. READ MORE

  4. 2. Untangling Cortico-Striatal Circuitry and its Role in Health and Disease - A computational investigation

    Author : Jovana Belic; Jeanette Hellgren Kotaleski; Arvind Kumar; Abigail Morrison; Arthur Leblois; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cortico-striatal circuits; levodopa-induced dyskinesia; Parkinson’s disease; effective connectivity; cross-frequency coupling; corticostriatal network; network oscillations; GABAergic transmission. basal ganglia; striatum; cortex; fast spiking interneurons; medium spiny neurons; neuronal avalanches;

    Abstract : The basal ganglia (BG) play a critical role in a variety of regular motor and cognitive functions. Many brain diseases, such as Parkinson’s diseases, Huntington’s disease and dyskinesia, are directly related to malfunctions of the BG nuclei. READ MORE

  5. 3. Synaptic transmission and synaptic plasticity in the mouse striatum

    Author : Sietske Schotanus; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The striatum is the major input nucleus of the basal ganglia and can be subdivided into a dorsal part and a ventral part that is also named nucleus accumbens (NAc). The dorsal part is involved in motor control and habit learning whereas the ventral part is mostly associated with rewardmotivated behaviors. READ MORE

  6. 4. Neuromodulation shapes interneuron communication in the mouse striatum

    Author : Matthijs Constantijn Dorst; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : A proper understanding of cognition relies on detailed knowledge about the functional connectivity within and between brain areas. The striatum is generally regarded as the input structure to the basal ganglia, a group of subcortical nuclei that have been demonstrated to be involved in motor function and reward, amongst other functions.
