Thalamic integration of basal ganglia and cerebellar circuits during motor learning

Basal ganglia and cerebellum are vital for motor control and learning. Our works shows thalamic neurons integrate signals from both regions, and show distinct movement-related activity which play a key role in motor learning and control in mice.

Dynamic basal ganglia output signals license and suppress forelimb movements

Basal ganglia is fundamental to motor control and dysfunction is linked to motor deficits. Our results demonstrate the existence and function of highly specific and temporally precise movement representations in basal ganglia output circuitry.
