  2. 11. The role of striatal inhibition in the processing of cortical neuronal avalanches

    Author : Andreas Klaus; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The brain is spontaneously active even in the absence of any obvious motor actions or sensory perceptions. This so-called resting activity or ongoing activity reflects the myriads of neuronal interactions necessary for the brain to process past actions, allow for current inputs, and prepare for future decisions and responses.

  4. 12. 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

  5. 13. Computational Modelling and Topological Analysis of the striatal microcircuitry in health and Parkinson's disease

    Author : Ilaria Carannante; Jeanette Hellgren Kotaleski; Alexander Kozlov; Sean Hill; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Datalogi; Computer Science;

    Abstract : The basal ganglia are evolutionary conserved nuclei located at the base of the forebrain. They are a central hub in the control of motion and their dysfunctions lead to a variety of movement related disorders, including Parkinson's disease (PD).The largest nucleus and main input stage of the basal ganglia is the striatum.

  6. 14. The role of dopaminergic and cholinergic modulation on the striatal network : a computational investigation

    Author : Robert Lindroos; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The famous words from the French philosopher René Descartes (1596-1650), “I think therefore I am”, proclaims that since we are thinking we must also exist. At the time when this was stated, very little was known about the main organ involved in thinking, the nervous system. READ MORE

  7. 15. 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.
