Cell-Type-Specific Sensorimotor Processing in the Striatum

Cell-Type-Specific Sensorimotor Processing in the Striatum - Carl Petersen describes whole-cell recordings from striatal projection neurons in behaving mice carried out by Tanya Sippy, and optogenetic manipulations of striatum carried out by Damien Lapray and Sylvain Crochet. Together, the results suggest that direct pathway striatonigral neurons provide a “go” signal for goal-directed sensorimotor transformation.
