TLDR
The results support race models of action cancellation, with stopping requiring Stop-cue information to be transmitted from STN to SNr before increased striatal input creates a point of no return.Abstract:
Salient cues can prompt the rapid interruption of planned actions. It has been proposed that fast, reactive behavioral inhibition involves specific basal ganglia pathways, and we tested this by comparing activity in multiple rat basal ganglia structures during performance of a stop-signal task. Subthalamic nucleus (STN) neurons exhibited low-latency responses to 'Stop' cues, irrespective of whether actions were canceled or not. By contrast, neurons downstream in the substantia nigra pars reticulata (SNr) only responded to Stop cues in trials with successful cancellation. Recordings and simulations together indicate that this sensorimotor gating arises from the relative timing of two distinct inputs to neurons in the SNr dorsolateral 'core' subregion: cue-related excitation from STN and movement-related inhibition from striatum. Our results support race models of action cancellation, with stopping requiring Stop-cue information to be transmitted from STN to SNr before increased striatal input creates a point of no return.read more

The unfolding action model of initiation times, movement times, and movement paths
TL;DR: A novel neurocomputational model of cognition-action interactions, namely the unfolding action model (UAM), which implements adaptive information flow between the last cognitive processing stage and motor implementation and should close the current gap between abstract decision-making models and behavior observed in natural habitats.

Neural oscillations in the primate caudate nucleus correlate with different preparatory states for temporal production
Tomoki W. Suzuki,Masaki Tanaka +1 more
TL;DR: Changes in local field potentials in the caudate nucleus of monkeys performing a time production task showed that the length of the time interval modified the magnitude of visually-evoked potentials and the spectral power at low frequencies, suggesting that neural oscillations within the cortico-basal ganglia pathways regulate timing behavior.

TL;DR: It is found that gamma oscillations are coordinated between mPFC and ST at theta (5–10 Hz) and, less efficiently, at sub-theta (2–5 Hz) frequencies.

Unilateral Optogenetic Inhibition and Excitation of Basal Ganglia Output Affect Directional Lick Choices and Movement Initiation in Mice.

TL;DR: It is found that unilateral optogenetic inhibition of GABAergic output of the substantia nigra pars reticulata to motor thalamus, during ipsilaterally cued trials, biased decision making towards a contralateral lick without affecting motor performance.

In Parkinson’s disease pallidal deep brain stimulation speeds up response initiation but has no effect on reactive inhibition

TL;DR: Results suggest that the GPi plays a crucial role in the ‘Go’ pathway, perhaps facilitating reaching the required threshold to initiate actions and other basal ganglia nuclei, such as the STN, may play a greater role in reactive response inhibition and conflict resolution.

The functional anatomy of basal ganglia disorders.
TL;DR: A model in which specific types of basal ganglia disorders are associated with changes in the function of subpopulations of striatal projection neurons is proposed, which suggests that the activity of sub Populations of Striatal projections neurons is differentially regulated by striatal afferents and that different striatal projections may mediate different aspects of motor control.

Reversal of experimental parkinsonism by lesions of the subthalamic nucleus
TL;DR: The postulated role of excessive activity in the subthalamic nucleus in Parkinson's disease is supported by the effects of lesions evaluated in monkeys rendered parkinsonian by treatment with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine.

TL;DR: These findings establish a critical role for basal ganglia circuitry in the bidirectional regulation of motor behaviour and indicate that modulation of direct-pathway circuitry may represent an effective therapeutic strategy for ameliorating parkinsonian motor deficits.
