Striatal outputs from both the dorsal and ventral components are primarily composed of medium spiny neurons (MSNs), a type of projection neuron, which have two primary phenotypes: "indirect" MSNs that express D2-like receptors and "direct" MSNs that express D1-like receptors.

2024年9月30日 · A mysterious, almond-shaped structure deep in the brain, the striatum holds the keys to understanding movement, motivation, and the complex dance of neurotransmitters that shape our behavior. This enigmatic region, nestled within the labyrinthine folds of our cerebral matter, has captivated neuroscientists for decades.

What is the striatum and what does it do? The striatum is one of the principal components of the basal ganglia, a group of nuclei that have a variety of functions but are best known for their role in facilitating voluntary movement.

We review the evidence supporting the role of the striatum in optimizing behavior by refining action selection and in shaping habits and skills as a modulator of motor repertoires. These findings challenge the notion that striatal learning processes are limited to the motor domain.

2022年5月10日 · The striatum, sometimes known as the neostriatum, is the part of the basal ganglia that includes the caudate nucleus, putamen, and nucleus accumbens, but not globus pallidus. Striatum and neostriatum are considered synonyms in the Terminologia Anatomica but are distinguished from corpus striatum 2.

Meaning of striatal medical term. What does striatal mean?

In this review we aimed at summarizing the available knowledge on striatal organization, especially focusing on how it links structure to function and its alterations in neuropsychiatric diseases.

The striatum is a subcortical association area where afferent inputs from a number of different brain regions are assimilated, including those extending from the neocortex, the thalamus, and the hippocampus. You might find these chapters and articles relevant to this topic. J.- A. Girault, ...

2019年6月6日 · In this Review, we briefly describe some of the classic ideas of striatal function. We then review recent studies in rodents that take advantage of optical and genetic methods to test these...

2020年11月23日 · Emerging evidence reveals a peculiar anatomo-functional organization of the tail of the striatum (TS). The TS, characterized by specific corticostriatal, thalamostriatal, and nigrostriatal converging projections, represents a key sensory-related striatal area.
