Bilateral chemogenetic activation of intratelencephalic neurons in motor cortex reduces spontaneous locomotor activity in mice by Mihai Atudorei, Christian del Agua Villa, Ulrik Gether, Maria Angela Cenci, Hartwig Roman Siebner, Mattias Rickhag

“…Intratelencephalic neurons are a crucial class of cortical principal neurons that heavily innervate the striatum and cortical areas bilaterally. Their extensive cortico-cortical and cortico-striatal connectivity enables sensorimotor integration within the telencephalon, but their role in motor control remains poorly understood. …”

Neurotransmitters crosstalk and regulation in the reward circuit of subjects with behavioral addiction by Zhenlei Peng, Qiyu Jia, Junxiong Mao, Xiao Luo, Anqi Huang, Hao Zheng, Shijie Jiang, Qi Ma, Qi Ma, Chuang Ma, Qizhong Yi

“…The neurobiological underpinnings of BADs primarily involve impairments in the reward circuitry, encompassing the ventral tegmental area, nucleus accumbens in the ventral striatum, and prefrontal cortex. These brain regions form networks that communicate through neurotransmitter signaling, leading to neurobiological changes in individuals with behavioral addictions. …”
