This study investigates how striatal dopamine signaling changes during skilled motor learning in mice, finding that dopamine dynamics shift with learning and vary across striatal subregions.

This study investigates how precisely-timed dopamine signals affect motor skill performance in rats during a complex reaching task, finding abrupt transitions in movement kinematics.

The paper examines how motor thalamic field potentials and single unit spiking relate to behavior in rats during a task, finding task-related modulation of oscillation power and phase-spike timing relationships.

The paper models transient beta oscillations in the basal ganglia using a computational model combined with experimental data from rats performing a task, showing they share mechanisms with pathological beta oscillations in Parkinson's disease.
