This study identifies time-dependent changes in corticostriatal circuits and movement patterns in a chronic pain model, highlighting a critical 3-week transition phase for therapeutic intervention.

This study investigates the role of posterior medial thalamus (POm) in striatal circuitry and choice behavior, finding that POm-striatal projections influence reaction times and learning through arousal-related signals.

The paper investigates differences in subcellular anatomical distribution of M1 and S1 cortical inputs to SPNs and FSIs in the DLS, finding SPNs receive more M1 inputs and show input clustering.

This study shows that sensory and motor cortical inputs to the striatum have opposing effects on behavior through distinct influences on striatal interneurons and projection neurons.
