The neuronal glutamate transporter EAAC1 limits excitation and lateral inhibition between D1-MSNs, which are important for the execution of slow-switching flexible behaviors.

The structural characteristics of a circuit and its hierarchical dimensions are shown to influence regional time-series dynamics after targeted cellular-level manipulations.

Modifying membrane potential by an 'inhibitory' chloride conductance such as PSAM⁴-GlyR is inherently unstable because the normally low intracellular concentration of chloride is readily increased by influx of chloride.

Dopamine D1 receptor signaling from the Golgi apparatus in murine striatal medium spiny neurons is regulated by monoamine transporter OCT2.

Two distinct projections from the basolateral amygdala to nucleus accumbens differentially contribute to cue- versus reward-mediated behavioral reinforcement.

Real-time imaging of neural activity in behaving mice reveals that the two canonical types of neurons in the olfactory tubercle carry distinct information about learned odor cues, with D1 neurons representing stimulus valence and D2 neurons mainly representing stimulus identity.

Dorsomedial D2-MSNs and D1-MSNs exhibit opposing dynamics during interval timing, however disrupting either MSN type produces similar effects on behavior, highlighting the complementary roles of striatal pathways in cognitive operations.

Striatal neurons preferentially fire at specific phases of the gait cycle, and the strength of gait encoding is selectively increased in indirect pathway neurons following dopamine lesions.

Dnmt3a regulates gene expression in inhibitory neurons by writing all mCH and some mCG, and MeCP2 reads some of these mCH sites driving a portion of these gene expression changes.
