Basal Ganglia: Striosomes and the Link between Motivation and Action.

Curr Biol. 2019 Jan 21;29(2):R62-R65

Authors: Courtemanche R, Cammalleri A

Abstract

The basal ganglia integrate motivation and action across their circuits; neurons in anatomical modules called striosomes could contribute strongly to this merger. A new method focusing on network interconnections will allow a better understanding of the functional role of striosomes.
