Updating the striatal–pallidal wiring diagram

LZ Fang, MC Creed - Nature neuroscience, 2024 - nature.com
The striatal and pallidal complexes are basal ganglia structures that orchestrate learning
and execution of flexible behavior. Models of how the basal ganglia subserve these …

[HTML][HTML] The mouse cortico–basal ganglia–thalamic network

NN Foster, J Barry, L Korobkova, L Garcia, L Gao… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
The cortico–basal ganglia–thalamo–cortical loop is one of the fundamental network motifs in

Cell and circuit complexity of the external globus pallidus

CD Courtney, A Pamukcu, CS Chan - Nature neuroscience, 2023 - nature.com
The external globus pallidus (GPe) of the basal ganglia has been underappreciated owing
to poor understanding of its cells and circuits. It was assumed that the GPe consisted of a …

Arkypallidal cells send a stop signal to striatum

N Mallet, R Schmidt, D Leventhal, F Chen, N Amer… - Neuron, 2016 - cell.com
The suppression of inappropriate actions is critical for flexible behavior. Cortical-basal
ganglia networks provide key gating mechanisms for action suppression, yet the specific …

The aperiodic exponent of subthalamic field potentials reflects excitation/inhibition balance in Parkinsonism

C Wiest, F Torrecillos, A Pogosyan, M Bange… - elife, 2023 - elifesciences.org
Periodic features of neural time-series data, such as local field potentials (LFPs), are often
quantified using power spectra. While the aperiodic exponent of spectra is typically …

Genetically distinct parallel pathways in the entopeduncular nucleus for limbic and sensorimotor output of the basal ganglia

ML Wallace, A Saunders, KW Huang, AC Philson… - Neuron, 2017 - cell.com
The basal ganglia (BG) integrate inputs from diverse sensorimotor, limbic, and associative
regions to guide action-selection and goal-directed behaviors. The entopeduncular nucleus …

Ventral pallidal regulation of motivated behaviors and reinforcement

C Soares-Cunha, JA Heinsbroek - Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2023 - frontiersin.org
The interconnected nuclei of the ventral basal ganglia have long been identified as key
regulators of motivated behavior, and dysfunction of this circuit is strongly implicated in …

A disynaptic circuit in the globus pallidus controls locomotion inhibition

A Aristieta, M Barresi, SA Lindi, G Barriere, G Courtand… - Current Biology, 2021 - cell.com
The basal ganglia (BG) inhibit movements through two independent circuits: the striatal
neuron-indirect and the subthalamic nucleus-hyperdirect pathways. These pathways exert …
