Striatal dopamine release is triggered by synchronized activity in cholinergic interneurons. (2012, neutral): “In vivo, ChI activity is strongly driven and synchronized across a network by thalamostriatal inputs, e.g., from intralaminar nuclei, that provide a rich innervation of networks of ChIs (as well as MSNs) (Ding et al., 2010; Goldberg and Reynolds, 2011; Morris et al., 2004; Raz et al., 1996; Smith et”
Functional organization of the basal ganglia: Therapeutic implications for Parkinson's disease (2008, background): “The CM sends glutamatergic projections to the striatum, particularly to the postcommissural putamen, to establish asymmetric synapse with medium spiny neurons projecting to both GPe and GPi, and also with cholinergic and gabaergic interneurons.(97) These same CM/Pf thalamostriatal neurons project to”
Confirmation of functional zones within the human subthalamic nucleus: Patterns of connectivity and sub-parcellation using diffusion weighted imaging (2012, background): “These regions support the hypothesis that the anterior STN is predominately a limbic structure (Kogan and Richter-Levin, 2008; Smith et al., 2004; Yelnik et al., 2007) in agreement with the animal literature (Hamani et al.”
Functional neuroanatomy of the basal ganglia. (2012, neutral): “It has been generally considered that thalamostriatal axons preferentially contact the dendritic shafts of striatal MSNs (Sadikot et al. 1990; Smith and Bolam 1990; Sidibé and Smith 1996; Smith et al. 2004), whereas corticostriatal afferents mainly synapse with dendritic spines.”
Modulation of striatal projection systems by dopamine (2011, neutral): “The other major input to the striatum comes from the thalamus, particularly the intralaminar thalamic nuclei (Smith et al., 2004).”
Reward-Related Cortical Inputs Define a Large Striatal Region in Primates That Interface with Associative Cortical Connections, Providing a Substrate for Incentive-Based Learning (2006, background): “Finally, although research emphasis has been placed on cortical input to the striatum, there is also a massive glutamatergic thalamic input, which differs in its specific synaptic targets (Smith et al., 2004).”
The cortico-basal ganglia integrative network: the role of the thalamus (2008, background): “The midline and intralaminar nuclei are the source of the most widely reported thalamostriatal projections [11,13,17,42,49,54].”
Cortico-Basal Ganglia Reward Network: Microcircuitry (2009, neutral): “…1990; Meredith et al, 1990; Sesack and Pickel, 1990; Lapper and Bolam, 1992; Lapper et al, 1992; Sesack and Pickel, 1992b; Bennett and Bolam, 1994; Johnson et al, 1994; Totterdell and Meredith, 1997; Thomas et al, 2000; French and Totterdell, 2004; Smith et al, 2004; French et al, 2005).”
Convergent evidence for abnormal striatal synaptic plasticity in dystonia (2009, neutral): “The nILT inputs to striatum have been the subject of much less research than the cortical inputs and less is known about their functional significance (for a good review, see Smith et al. (2004)).”
Superior Colliculus and Visual Spatial Attention (2013, background): “In addition to transmitting motor signals about saccades, this pathway also transmits visual and other signals from the SC (Sommer & Wurtz 2004) that may be related to the role of the FEF in the control of attention.”
What is reinforced by phasic dopamine signals? (2008, background): “…activity recorded in the striatum (100–250 ms (Hikosaka et al., 1989; Reynolds et al., 2005)) suggest that relevant sensory-evoked (glutamatergic(Smith et al., 2004)) input from the thalamus (Matsumoto et al., 2001) would probably converge with phasic DA release evoked by the same event…”
