TL;DR: The results suggest that TH-containing afferents from the host striatum, though not required for induction and maintenance of striatal phenotypy in striatal grafts, can chronically regulate neurotransmitter/neuromodulator expression in neurons of the striatum- like P zones in a manner similar to that found for the normal striatum.

TL;DR: It is found that circuit connectivity and function of thestriosome compartment of the striatum are critical for valence-based learning, and that FSIs can modulate the striosomal signal-to-noise ratio, crucial for discrimination and learning.

TL;DR: In this article, pulse-labeled striosomal cells (S cells) and matrix cells (M cells) in cats with (3) H-thymidine were followed during fetal and postnatal development.

TL;DR: A hypothetical scheme of basal ganglia functioning in behavioral learning is presented andLimbic input conveys information related to “reinforcement” or “incentive” either directly to the striatum or indirectly through nigrostriatal dopamine system, and it contributes to acquisition of taskrelated activity and expression of the acquired activity in the Striatum.

TL;DR: Results are consistent with the view that LP-projecting collicular neurons synthesize AChE and account for much of the histochemically detectable enzyme present both in the lower superficial gray layer and in LPm.
