Nicotinic control of dopamine release shapes striatal output and engages adaptive action selection.

This study shows that nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in midbrain neurons control dopamine release in the striatum, affecting reward learning and action selection in mice.

Long-range inhibitory control of cholinergic network dynamics in the striatum.

The paper identifies a long-range inhibitory mechanism in striatal circuits that links synchronized cholinergic activity to pause generation during reinforcement learning.

Cholinergic interneuron control of GABAergic circuits targeting spiny projection neurons is disrupted in parkinsonian models

This study investigates how Parkinson's disease disrupts cholinergic interneuron control of GABAergic circuits in the striatum, showing reduced nicotinic AChR expression in interneurons in disease models.

Cholinergic control of striatal GABAergic microcircuits

The paper investigates cholinergic control of striatal GABAergic microcircuits by showing CINs activate multiple GIN populations through mAChRs and nAChRs.
