This study investigates how dopamine signaling in the striatum influences corticostriatal circuits during behavior, finding that learning-related plasticity, not acute dopamine effects, shapes circuit function.

The paper shows that shared striatal neurons adapt their dynamics to support both internally and externally driven actions through context-specific changes in neural activity.

This study shows that a single dose of LSD in rats reduces pain affect by suppressing nociceptive responses in the anterior cingulate cortex.

The paper generates and characterizes knock-in mouse lines for precise genetic targeting of striatal and dopaminergic neurons, confirming their utility for studying neural circuits and disorders.

The paper examines differences in auditory responses between D1 and D2 striatal projection neurons, finding that D1 neurons show stronger and faster responses due to stronger feed forward inhibition.
