Intracellular recordings in vivo have shown that neocortical neurons are subjected to an
intense synaptic bombardment in intact networks and are in a'high-conductance'state. In …

The striatum is densely innervated by mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons that modulate
acquisition and vigor of goal-directed actions and habits. This innervation is progressively …

Delirium, stupor and coma are common clinical states that confront clinicians in almost every
medical specialty. With appropriate diagnosis and treatment, coma can often be treated …

Oscillations and synchrony in basal ganglia circuits may play a key role in the organization
of voluntary actions and habits. We recorded single units and local field potentials from …

The basal ganglia (BG) have long been implicated in both motor function and dysfunction. It
has been proposed that the BG form a centralized action selection circuit, resolving conflict …

Discharge activities and local field potentials were recorded in the orofacial motor cortex and
in the corresponding rostrolateral striatum of urethane-anesthetized rats. Striatal projection …

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) is highly effective in
alleviating movement disability in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, its …

Oscillations may organize communication between components of large‐scale brain
networks. Although gamma‐band oscillations have been repeatedly observed in cortical …

The nucleus accumbens is critical for reward-guided learning and decision-making. It is
thought to “gate” the flow of a diverse range of information (eg, rewarding, aversive, and …

Local field potential (LFP) oscillations in the brain reflect organization thought to be
important for perception, attention, movement, and memory. In the basal ganglia, including …
