This study shows that sensory responses in the dorsolateral striatum are modulated by motor activity and are dopamine- and cell type-dependent.

The paper investigates synaptic inputs to two subpopulations of neurons in the mouse external Globus Pallidus, revealing distinct connectivity patterns from the striatum and subthalamic nucleus.

The paper compares synaptic input strength between direct and indirect pathway neurons in the striatum of mice, finding direct pathway neurons receive stronger input, which is lost in dopamine-depleted mice.
