Grid cells in the medial entorhinal cortex have spatial firing fields that repeat periodically in
a hexagonal pattern. When animals move, activity is translated between grid cells in …

The theta rhythm organizes neural activity across hippocampus and entorhinal cortex. A
role for theta oscillations in spatial navigation is supported by half a century of research …

Local field potentials (LFPs) recorded from the human and rodent ventral striatum (vStr) exhibit
prominent, behaviorally relevant gamma-band oscillations. These oscillations are related …

The loop structure of cortico-striatal anatomy in principle enables both descending (cortico-striatal)
and ascending (striato-cortical) influences, but the factors that regulate the flow of …

Despite clear evidence linking the basal ganglia to the control of outcome insensitivity (ie,
habit) and behavioral vigor (ie, its behavioral speed/fluidity), it remains unclear whether or how …

Oscillations in neural activity are widespread throughout the brain and can be observed at
the population level through the local field potential. These rhythmic patterns are associated …

10.7554/eLife.37275.001 The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is important for learning from
feedback, and for biasing and invigorating behaviour in response to cues that predict …

… Carmichael 1988; Lange and Carmichael 1987), we may substitute expressions of the type
… (02 r]/o p2) can be ignored (Kress and Carmichael 1991). This requires that all basic liquids …

As animals perform instrumental tasks, they may develop a habit response with extended
experience. Habits are automatic, inflexible, outcome value insensitive behaviors that are …

The involvement of rapid-eye-movement sleep (REMs) in spatial memory formation was
recently demonstrated, although how neural activity during REMs influences newly-formed …
