New look at dopamine signaling suggests neuroscientists' model of reinforcement learning may need to be revised
The team focused its attention on the striatum, a region within the brain's basal ganglia, where neurons use dopamine to influence neural circuits involved in a variety of processes, including ...

Actor-critic models of the basal ganglia: New anatomical and computational perspectives
A large number of computational models of information processing in the basal ganglia have been developed in recent years. Prominent in these are actor-critic models of basal ganglia functioning which ...

Synchronous processing of temporal information across the hippocampus, striatum, and orbitofrontal cortex
This study examined the important question of how neurons code temporal information across the hippocampus, dorsal striatum, and orbitofrontal cortex. Using a behavioral task in the rat that requires ...

Young neurons from medial ganglionic eminence disperse in adult and embryonic brain
This dispersion was not limited to the basal ganglia; grafted MGE cells also ... Neurobasal medium and microinjected (0.1 μl) into striatum of adult mouse. Brains were processed 20 and 48 hours ...
