Regression models for partially localized fMRI connectivity analyses

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Lindquist, Brian Caffo | Authors: Bonnie B. Smith, Yi Zhao, Martin A. Lindquist and Brian Caffo | Summary: Brain functional connectivity analysis of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data is typically performed in a standardized template space assuming consistency of connections across subjects. This can come in the form of one-edge-at-a-time […]

Nucleus accumbens and dorsal medial striatal dopamine and neural activity are essential for action sequence performance

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 […]

Complex spikes perturb movements, revealing the sensorimotor map of Purkinje cells

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 […]
