Now, using a novel system developed at Janelia, researchers led by the Dudman Lab found that a part of the basal ganglia called the striatum is not involved in action selection as previously thought.

We're all familiar with Pavlovian conditioning, in which a reward-anticipatory behavior follows a reward-predicting stimulus.

This study uncovers a specialized circuit in the striatum that encodes reward variance, offering new perspectives on learning and neurological disorders.

DGIST Department of Brain Sciences Professor Lee Kwang and his team have discovered a new correlation between neural signaling in the brain and dopamine signaling in the striatum. The human brain ...
