The paper shows that somatostatin interneurons in the dorsomedial striatum control early learning by shaping neural activity patterns during initial learning phases.

This study investigates the developmental changes in neuronal activity in a KCNQ2 knock-in mouse model, finding time-limited alterations in excitability and M-current density that resolve with maturation.

This study shows dopamine firing encodes reward prediction errors and motivation during a working memory task in monkeys, with distinct roles for phasic and tonic activity.

This study investigates the role of the dorsal striatum in effort sensitivity during motor tasks, finding that lesions affect movement kinematics without impairing procedural memory.

The paper examines how internal bias influences dopamine neuron activity during decision-making tasks in monkeys, showing bias affects phasic activity and reward prediction errors but not delay period activity.
