Dopamine restores reward prediction errors in old age [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Senescence affects the ability to utilize information about the likelihood of rewards for optimal decision-making. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging in humans, we found that healthy older adults had an abnormal signature of expected value ...

Neuronal Replacement as a Tool for Basal Ganglia Circuitry Repair: 40 Years in Perspective

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2020
The ability of new neurons to promote repair of brain circuitry depends on their capacity to re-establish afferent and efferent connections with the host.

Maladaptive bias for extrahippocampal navigation strategies in aging humans. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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 ...

Adult-specific Reelin expression alters striatal neuronal organization: implications for neuropsychiatric disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023
In addition to neuronal migration, brain development, and adult plasticity, the extracellular matrix protein Reelin has been extensively implicated in human psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and autism spectrum disorder ...

A new functional role for lateral inhibition in the striatum: Pavlovian conditioning

open access: yes, 2011
The striatum has long been implicated in reinforcement learning and has been suggested by several neurophysiological studies as the substrate for encoding the reward value of stimuli.

In vivo PET quantification of the dopamine transporter in rat brain with [¹⁸F]LBT-999. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
INTRODUCTION: We examined whether [(18)F]LBT-999 ((E)-N-(4-fluorobut-2-enyl)2β-carbomethoxy-3β-(4'-tolyl)nortropane) is an efficient positron emission tomography (PET) tracer for the quantification of the dopamine transporter (DAT) in the healthy rat ...

Neural Correlates for Intrinsic Motivational Deficits of Schizophrenia; Implications for Therapeutics of Cognitive Impairment

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2018
The ultimate goal of the treatment of schizophrenia is recovery, a notion related to improvement of cognitive and social functioning. Cognitive remediation therapies (CRT), one of the most effective cognition enhancing methods, have been shown to ...

GABA Neuronal Deletion of Shank3 Exons 14–16 in Mice Suppresses Striatal Excitatory Synaptic Input and Induces Social and Locomotor Abnormalities

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2018
Shank3 is an excitatory postsynaptic scaffolding protein implicated in multiple brain disorders, including autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS). Although previous neurobiological studies on Shank3 and Shank3-mutant mice have

Striatal dopamine transmission is subtly modified in human A53Tα-synuclein overexpressing mice

open access: yes, 2012
Mutations in, or elevated dosage of, SNCA, the gene for α-synuclein (α-syn), cause familial Parkinson's disease (PD). Mouse lines overexpressing the mutant human A53Tα-syn may represent a model of early PD.

Ramping activity in the striatum

open access: yesFrontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2022
Control of the timing of behavior is thought to require the basal ganglia (BG) and BG pathologies impair performance in timing tasks. Temporal interval discrimination depends on the ramping activity of medium spiny neurons (MSN) in the main BG input structure, the striatum, but the underlying mechanisms driving this activity are unclear.
