The pathophysiology of neurodevelopmental disorders involves vulnerable neural
populations, including striatal circuitry, and convergent molecular nodes, including …

Movement initiation and control require the orchestrated activity of sensorimotor cortical and
subcortical regions. However, the exact contribution of specific pathways and interactions to …

Self-grooming is an innate, naturalistic behavior found in a wide variety of organisms. The
control of rodent grooming has been shown to be mediated by the dorsolateral striatum …

Food handling offers unique yet largely unexplored opportunities to investigate how cortical
activity relates to forelimb movements in a natural, ethologically essential, and kinematically …
