Striatal circuits as a common node for autism pathophysiology
MV Fuccillo - Frontiers in neuroscience, 2016 - frontiersin.org
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by two seemingly unrelated symptom
domains—deficits in social interactions and restrictive, repetitive patterns of behavioral …

[HTML][HTML] Behavioral variability through stochastic choice and its gating by anterior cingulate cortex
Behavioral choices that ignore prior experience promote exploration and unpredictability but
are seemingly at odds with the brain's tendency to use experience to optimize behavioral …

Dopamine modulation of learning and memory in the prefrontal cortex: insights from studies in primates, rodents, and birds
In this review, we provide a brief overview over the current knowledge about the role of
dopamine transmission in the prefrontal cortex during learning and memory. We discuss …

Translating birdsong: songbirds as a model for basic and applied medical research
MS Brainard, AJ Doupe - Annual review of neuroscience, 2013 - annualreviews.org
Songbirds, long of interest to basic neuroscience, have great potential as a model system for
translational neuroscience. Songbirds learn their complex vocal behavior in a manner that …
