The Basal Ganglia Talk Back: Striato-Cortical and Pallido-Cortical Return Pathways in Basal Ganglia-Cortical Communication.

A central framework in basal ganglia neuroscience is that the cerebral cortex sends excitatory information to the striatum, where it is integrated with thalamic and neuromodulatory signals to shape action selection, learning, and behavioral flexibility [1-10]. In this classical view, the striatum acts as the major inpu...
