Behind this mechanism is dopamine released within the striatum, the largest structure of the subcortical basal ganglia, which links motor movements and motivation. Yet it has remained unclear ...

The basal ganglia are a set of subcortical structures ... Its input structure, the striatum, receives a dense dopaminergic input that is critical for reinforcement learning and whose dysfunction ...

The basal ganglia have been implicated in action selection and timing ... neurons in the ventrolateral striatum in head-fixed mice on a fixed time reinforcement schedule. Direct pathway stimulation ...

The striatum and the subthalamic nucleus (STN) constitute the input stage of the basal ganglia (BG) network and together innervate BG downstream structures using GABA and glutamate, respectively.

The cerebral cortex and basal ganglia (BG) form a neural circuit that is disrupted ... Both types of glutamate receptors were involved in mediating cortical input to the striatum. Dorsal striatal ...
