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

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.

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.
