This paper identifies the role of somatostatin interneurons in the motor cortex in refining motor programs through adaptive changes in neural activity patterns during task learning and execution.

This paper identifies a hypothalamus-brainstem circuit that prioritizes safety over essential needs by modulating locomotion behavior.

This study shows chronic alcohol enhances synaptic inputs from the dorsolateral striatum to the substantia nigra pars reticulata, increasing their role in action control.

The paper investigates how CB1 and GABAB receptors modulate presynaptic GABA release in striatal indirect pathway projections to the globus pallidus in mice, finding distinct mechanisms for each receptor.
