Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Janak | Authors: Kurt M Fraser, Bridget J Chen and Patricia H Janak | Summary: Separable striatal circuits have unique functions in Pavlovian and instrumental behaviors but how these roles relate to performance of sequences of actions with and without associated cues is less clear. Here we tested whether dopamine release and […]

Kavli Affiliate: Reza Shadmehr | Authors: Salomon Zev Muller, Jay S Pi, Paul Hage, Mohammad Amin Fakharian, Ehsan Sedaghat-Nejad and Reza Shadmehr | Summary: The cerebellar cortex performs computations that are critical for control of our actions, and then transmits that information via simple spikes of Purkinje cells (P-cells) to downstream structures. However, because P-cells […]
