Mechanism of dopamine traveling waves in the striatum: theory and experiment

The paper investigates the mechanism of dopamine traveling waves in the striatum using theoretical and experimental approaches, finding that cholinergic interneurons and dopamine axons interact to drive these waves.

Striatal neurons are recruited dynamically into collective representations of self-initiated and learned actions in freely-moving mice

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.

Wave-like activity patterns in the neuropil of striatal cholinergic interneurons in freely moving mice represent their collective spiking dynamics

The paper uses endoscopic imaging to study cholinergic interneurons in freely moving mice, revealing traveling-wave-like activity patterns in the neuropil that reflect collective spiking dynamics.
