The paper identifies a novel 5-10 Hz cortico-striatal NREM sleep rhythm in mice and non-human primates that supports learning and performance gains through enhanced cortico-striatal interactions.

The paper uses a biophysical model to show that slow-wave and delta waves during sleep differentially control memory consolidation and forgetting through distinct synaptic mechanisms.

This study investigates how sleep spindles coordinate neural activity between the cortex and basal ganglia in non-human primates, revealing distinct patterns of connectivity in different BG regions.

The paper investigates how non-uniform distribution of dendritic currents in cholinergic interneurons differentially processes thalamostriatal and corticostriatal inputs.

The paper links spontaneous firing pauses in external pallidum neurons to exploratory behavior through increased saccade rate and pupil dilation.
