Motor Control: A Basal Ganglia Feedback Circuit for Action Suppression

The basal ganglia regulate our behavior through the promotion and suppression of the actions that we perform. A new study has revealed a basal ganglia feedback circuit between the striatum and globus pallidus that can powerfully inhibit locomotion in mice. The basal ganglia regulate our behavior thr...
