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

TL;DR: This work used CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to generate two novel knock-in rat lines, specifically encoding iCre recombinase immediately after the dopamine D1 receptor or adenosine 2a receptor loci, and confirmed they show selective, functional Cre expression in the direct and indirect pathways respectively.

TL;DR: It is shown that STN activity decreases during action switches, contrary to prevalent theories, and an elaborate neural code is suggested in STN that contributes to planning actions and changing the plans.

Choice suppression is achieved through opponent but not independent function of the striatal indirect pathway in mice
TL;DR: It is found that chemogenetic activation, but not inhibition, of iSPNs disrupted learned suppression of nonrewarded choices, consistent with the predictions of the OpAL model.

Population dynamics and entrainment of basal ganglia pacemakers are shaped by their dendritic arbors
Lior Tiroshi,Joshua A. Goldberg +1 more
TL;DR: It is provided the first empirical demonstration that dendritic delays can introduce latencies in the responses of a population of neurons that are commensurate with synaptic delays, suggesting a new role for SNr dendrites with implications for BG function.

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.
