The dynamics of striatum circuitry [PDF]
Learning new motor skills is an integral and essential part of our life. Remember the first time riding a bike or learning to ski? After a new skill is acquired, the once daunting task becomes effortless and automatic. How does our brain accomplish such a feat? Which brain systems are involved, and how? A recent article by Yin et al.

The dorsal striatum is involved in cue‐based navigation strategies and in the development of habits. It has been proposed that striatum‐dependent cued navigation competes with hippocampus‐dependent spatial navigation in some circumstances.

Brain region and gene dosage-differential transcriptomic changes in Shank2-mutant mice
Shank2 is an abundant excitatory postsynaptic scaffolding protein that has been implicated in various neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disability, attention-deficit/hyperactivity ...

Black-box and surrogate optimization for tuning spiking neural models of striatum plasticity
The basal ganglia (BG) is a brain structure that has long been proposed to play an essential role in action selection, and theoretical models of spiking neurons have tried to explain how the BG solves this problem.

Maladaptive bias for extrahippocampal navigation strategies in aging humans. [PDF]
Efficient spatial navigation requires not only accurate spatial knowledge but also the selection of appropriate strategies. Using a novel paradigm that allowed us to distinguish between beacon, associative cue, and place strategies, we investigated the ...

The Striatum and Pain Modulation
The aim of this review was to give a general aspect of the sensorial function of the striatum related to pain modulation, which was intensively studied in our laboratory. We analyse the effect of electrical and chemical stimulation of the striatum on the orofacial pain, especially that produced by tooth pulp stimulation of the lower incisors.

The effects of melatonin on the striatum
Objective: Some of the neurological diseases cause morphologic changes in the striatal neurons. Medial forebrain bundle (MFB)lesion is a commonly used method to produce a Parkinsonian model rat. Melatonin is a hormone which exerts a neuroprotectiveeffect on the neurons.

It was examined how ventral striatum responses to rewards develop across adolescence and early adulthood and how individual differences in state‐ and trait‐level reward sensitivity are related to these changes.

Dopamine neurons are thought to encode novelty in addition to reward prediction error (the discrepancy between actual and predicted values). In this study, we compared dopamine activity across the striatum using fiber fluorometry in mice.
