Neural correlates of licking behavior modulated by target position in the striatal matrix compartment

Taishi Kimoto, Tomohiko Yoshizawa, Yuta Ishimaru, Tadashi Inui, Kōichi Nakamura, Yasutaka Yawaka, Makoto Funahashi

This study shows that striatal matrix neurons encode spatial features of licking behavior, with distinct associations before and during licking based on target position.

Neural responses prior to licking onset in the striatal matrix compartment in mice

Yuta Ishimaru, Tomohiko Yoshizawa, Taishi Kimoto, Tadashi Inui, Yasutaka Yawaka, Makoto Funahashi

This study shows that striatal matrix neurons in mice respond before licking onset and are involved in preparing for licking and regulating its frequency during drinking.
