Short-term and long-term plasticity at corticostriatal synapses: implications for learning and memory

M Di Filippo, B Picconi, M Tantucci, V Ghiglieri… - Behavioural brain …, 2009 - Elsevier

Pallidostriatal projections promote β oscillations in a dopamine-depleted biophysical network model

VL Corbit, TC Whalen, KT Zitelli, SY Crilly… - Journal of …, 2016 - jneurosci.org
In the basal ganglia, focused rhythmicity is an important feature of network activity at certain

A new framework for cortico-striatal plasticity: behavioural theory meets in vitro data at the reinforcement-action interface

KN Gurney, MD Humphries, P Redgrave - PLoS biology, 2015 - journals.plos.org
Operant learning requires that reinforcement signals interact with action representations at a
suitable neural interface. Much evidence suggests that this occurs when phasic dopamine …

NMDA/AMPA ratio impacts state transitions and entrainment to oscillations in a computational model of the nucleus accumbens medium spiny projection neuron

JA Wolf, JT Moyer, MT Lazarewicz… - Journal of …, 2005 - jneurosci.org

MD Humphries, N Lepora, R Wood… - Frontiers in …, 2009 - frontiersin.org
Loss of dopamine from the striatum can cause both profound motor deficits, as in
Parkinsons's disease, and disrupt learning. Yet the effect of dopamine on striatal neurons …

Contrast enhancement: a physiological effect of striatal dopamine?

SM Nicola, F Woodward Hopf, GO Hjelmstad - Cell and tissue research, 2004 - Springer
