The paper shows that synchronous activation of striatal cholinergic interneurons induces local serotonin release through a mechanism similar to dopamine release.

This study shows that tonic activation of 4β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on GABAergic interneurons primes feedforward inhibition, shaping striatal output timing and synaptic plasticity.

This study investigates how SAPAP3 deletion affects striatal circuit function in a mouse model of compulsive motor behavior, revealing non-synaptic and pathway-specific changes.
