Ventral striatal neurons encode the value of the chosen action in rats deciding between differently delayed or sized rewards.

19 Oct 2009 The ventral striatum (VS) is thought to serve as a gateway whereby associative information from the amygdala and prefrontal regions can influence motor output to guide behavior. If VS mediates this "limbic-motor" interface, then one might expect ... Read more...

Hippocampus leads ventral striatum in replay of place-reward information.

16 Aug 2009 Associating spatial locations with rewards is fundamental to survival in natural environments and requires the integrity of the hippocampus and ventral striatum. In joint multineuron recordings from these areas, hippocampal-striatal ensembles ... Read more...

Diversity in long-term synaptic plasticity at inhibitory synapses of striatal spiny neurons.

22 Jul 2009 Procedural memories and habits are posited to be stored in the basal ganglia, whose intrinsic circuitries possess important inhibitory connections arising from striatal spiny neurons. However, no information about long-term plasticity at these ... Read more...
