A blueprint for examining striatal control of cognition

Trends Neurosci. 2022 Jun 8:S0166-2236(22)00103-5. doi: 10.1016/j.tins.2022.05.009. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn a recent study, Bolkan, Stone, and colleagues demonstrated that direct and indirect striatal pathways in mice exert opponent control over choice behavior in a task- and state-dependent manner. This work highlights the need for rigorously controlled behavioral experiments and novel behavioral modeling in investigations of the neural mechanisms of decision making.PMID:35690496 | DOI:10.1016/j.tins.2022.05.009
