Local and afferent synaptic pathways in the striatal microcircuitry

Highlights • The striatum acts as a ‘hub’ that receives afferent inputs from multiple pathways. • Recent studies have characterized several new types of striatal interneurons. • Intrastriatal connectivity between interneurons is selective and target-dependent. • New GABAergic, cholinergic, and dopam...

Description
Summary:Highlights • The striatum acts as a ‘hub’ that receives afferent inputs from multiple pathways. • Recent studies have characterized several new types of striatal interneurons. • Intrastriatal connectivity between interneurons is selective and target-dependent. • New GABAergic, cholinergic, and dopaminergic afferents have been discovered and characterized.
