A large number of computational models of information processing in the basal ganglia have been developed in recent years. Prominent in these are actor-critic models of basal ganglia functioning which ...

The basal ganglia, specifically the striatum tail, located in the deep region of the brain, plays a critical role in ...

The basal ganglia are a set of subcortical structures ... Its input structure, the striatum, receives a dense dopaminergic input that is critical for reinforcement learning and whose dysfunction ...

Now, using a novel system developed at Janelia, researchers led by the Dudman Lab found that a part of the basal ganglia ...
