Now, using a novel system developed at Janelia, researchers led by the Dudman Lab found that a part of the basal ganglia called the striatum is not involved in action selection as previously thought.

Within the human brain, movement is coordinated by a brain region called the striatum, which sends instructions to motor ...

DGIST Department of Brain Sciences Professor Lee Kwang and his team have discovered a new correlation between neural signaling in the brain and dopamine signaling in the striatum. The human brain ...
