Congratulations to Michael Ryan and Ally Girasole for their new manuscript on striatal activity and connectivity in a mouse model of Parkinson's Disease and levodopa-induced dyskinesia. Thanks to our collaborators at NIH, including Chip Gerfen! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

What happens when action selection fails? To find out, we probed intrinsic & synaptic properties of striatal neurons in a Parkinson's disease mouse model. Hint: dopamine sensitivity & motor cortical/thalamic inputs are key. Alexandra Nelson Ally Girasole biorxiv.org/content/10.110…





Our article has been published in Nature Communications! Thank you to the editors, reviewers, and my co-authors Tatiana Engel Anne Churchland for a thoughtful and thorough editorial process. The updated article is available at rdcu.be/c278F
