Different corticostriatal integration in spiny projection neurons from direct and indirect pathways

Different corticostriatal integration in spiny projection neurons from direct and indirect pathways

The striatum is the principal input structure of the basal ganglia (BG). Major glutamatergic afferents to the striatum come from the cerebral cortex and make monosynaptic contacts with medium spiny projection neurons (MSNs) and interneurons. Despite differences in axonal projections, dopamine recep...
