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

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

The paper investigates how striatal neurons represent self-initiated and learned actions in freely-moving mice, finding dynamic recruitment of neurons into cell assemblies during learned behaviors.
