The paper maps pallidostriatal connectivity in mice, showing distinct innervation patterns of striatal neuron subpopulations by different pallidal neuron types.

The paper reveals that striatal astrocytes rapidly modulate cholinergic interneurons and dopamine release through subsecond calcium dynamics in mice and humans.

This study identifies a selective subthalamostriatal projection to parvalbumin-expressing interneurons in the striatum, showing higher connectivity and excitatory responses compared to other cell types.

The paper investigates the role of astrocytic GABA transporters in regulating dopamine release in the striatum and shows their downregulation in early parkinsonism.

This study shows that loss of Tsc1 in midbrain dopamine neurons leads to structural and functional defects, causing cognitive flexibility deficits that can be mitigated by reducing Raptor.
