Next-generation wireless networks must support ultra-reliable, low-latency communication
and intelligently manage a massive number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in real-time …

In spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP), the order and precise temporal interval
between presynaptic and postsynaptic spikes determine the sign and magnitude of long …

Spike-timing-dependent synaptic plasticity (STDP) is a leading cellular model for behavioral
learning and memory with rich computational properties. However, the relationship between …

The dorsal striatum, which consists of the caudate and putamen, is the gateway to the basal
ganglia. It receives convergent excitatory afferents from cortex and thalamus and forms the …

The striatum plays a central role in motor control and motor learning. Appropriate responses
to environmental stimuli, including pursuit of reward or avoidance of aversive experience all …

The insatiable appetite for energy to support human brain function is mainly supplied by
glucose oxidation (CMRglc (ox)). But how much energy is consumed for signaling and …

The imbalance between cholinergic activity and dopaminergic activity in the striatum causes
a variety of neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease. During sensorimotor …

Until recently, the study of plasticity of neural circuits focused almost exclusively on
potentiation and depression at excitatory synapses on principal cells. Other elements in the …

Striatal acetylcholine and dopamine critically regulate movement, motivation, and reward-
related learning. Pauses in cholinergic interneuron (CIN) firing are thought to coincide with …

The purpose of this review is to bridge the gap between earlier literature on striatal
cholinergic interneurons and mechanisms of microcircuit interaction demonstrated with the …
