Dopamine neurons projecting to the posterior striatum reinforce avoidance of threatening stimuli
Midbrain dopamine neurons are well known for their role in reward-based reinforcement learning. We found that the activity of dopamine axons in the posterior tail of the striatum (TS) scaled with the novelty and intensity of external stimuli, but did not

Dopamine neurons projecting to the posterior striatum form an anatomically distinct subclass
Combining rabies-virus tracing, optical clearing (CLARITY), and whole-brain light-sheet imaging, we mapped the monosynaptic inputs to midbrain dopamine neurons projecting to different targets (different parts of the striatum, cortex, amygdala, etc) in ...

On the role of the striatum in response inhibition. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Stopping a manual response requires suppression of the primary motor cortex (M1) and has been linked to activation of the striatum. Here, we test three hypotheses regarding the role of the striatum in stopping: striatum activation during ...

The pharmacological modulation of autophagy is considered a promising neuroprotective strategy. While it has been postulated that lithium regulates this cellular process, the age-related effects have not been fully elucidated.

Effects of prolactin on movement disorders and APOE, GFAP, and PRL receptor gene expression following intracerebral hemorrhage in rats [PDF]
Objective(s): Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) occurs mostly in the striatum. In ICH, blood prolactin level increases 3-fold. The effects of intracerebroventricular injection (ICV) of prolactin on motor disorders will be investigated. Materials and Methods:

Schizophrenia, Dopamine and the Striatum: From Biology to Symptoms
The mesolimbic hypothesis has been a central dogma of schizophrenia for decades, positing that aberrant functioning of midbrain dopamine projections to limbic regions causes psychotic symptoms.

Dissociable Roles of Ventral and Dorsal Striatum in Instrumental Conditioning
Instrumental conditioning studies how animals and humans choose actions appropriate to the affective structure of an environment. According to recent reinforcement learning models, two distinct components are involved: a “critic,” which learns to predict

Implication of ermCX gene of Corynebacterium striatum in macrolide resistance in Beijing, China
To study the resistance mechanism of Corynebacterium striatum clinical isolates to macrolide antibiotic, 57 strains of C. striatum clinical isolates were detected by susceptibility testing, PCR amplification and DNA sequencing.
