Astrocytes use the MEGF10 receptor to prune synapses in the striatum, a process essential for dopamine-driven motor learning.

According to Carnegie Mellon neuroscientists, there is a clear leader and sidekick when it comes to generating movements. During purposeful movement, whether reaching for a cookie or walking around ...

Researchers have mapped how different nerve cells in the brain area striatum process information to plan and execute our movements at just the right time and with the right vigor. The results show ...

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have mapped how different nerve cells in the brain area striatum process information to plan and execute our movements at just the right time and with the right ...

Using a novel system, researchers found that a part of the basal ganglia called the striatum is not involved in action selection as previously thought. Instead, the striatum and the motor cortex work ...

A rare group of cells buried deep in the brain has the power to make or break your habits. Fast-spiking interneurons, shown here in purple, in the dorsolateral striatum in mice, act as a key signaling ...
