TL;DR: This study investigated neuronal signals of the direct and indirect pathways of the basal ganglia as rats performed a lever push/pull task for a probabilistic reward and found that optogenetically and electrophysiologically identified direct pathway neurons encoded reward outcomes, whereas indirect pathways neurons encoded no-reward outcome and next-action selection.

Astroglial glutamate transporter deficiency increases synaptic excitability and leads to pathological repetitive behaviors in mice.
Tomomi Aida,Junichi Yoshida,Masatoshi Nomura,Asami Tanimura,Yusuke Iino,Miho Soma,Ning Bai,Yukiko Ito,Wanpeng Cui,Hidenori Aizawa,Michiko Yanagisawa,Terumi Nagai,Norio Takata,Kenji F. Tanaka,Ryoichi Takayanagi,Masanobu Kano,Magdalena Götz,Hajime Hirase,Kohichi Tanaka +18 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that astroglial GLT1 has a critical role in controlling the synaptic efficacy at corticostriatal synapses and its dysfunction causes pathological repetitive behaviors in iKO mice.

In Vivo Spiking Dynamics of Intra- and Extratelencephalic Projection Neurons in Rat Motor Cortex.
Akiko Saiki,Akiko Saiki,Yutaka Sakai,Ryoji Fukabori,Shogo Soma,Shogo Soma,Junichi Yoshida,Junichi Yoshida,Masanori Kawabata,Hiromu Yawo,Kazuto Kobayashi,Minoru Kimura,Yoshikazu Isomura +12 more
TL;DR: "postspike suppression" was found as a characteristic of ET-type neurons in spike auto-correlograms, and it remained constant independent of behavioral conditions in functionally different ET- type neurons.
Distinct Laterality in Forelimb-Movement Representations of Rat Primary and Secondary Motor Cortical Neurons with Intratelencephalic and Pyramidal Tract Projections.
Shogo Soma,Akiko Saiki,Junichi Yoshida,Alain Ríos,Masanori Kawabata,Yutaka Sakai,Yoshikazu Isomura +6 more
TL;DR: It is found that contralateral bias was reduced in M2 relative to M1, and in IT relative to PT neurons, suggesting that the motor information processing that controls forelimb movement is coordinated by a distinct cell population.

Ipsilateral-Dominant Control of Limb Movements in Rodent Posterior Parietal Cortex.
Shogo Soma,Junichi Yoshida,Shigeki Kato,Yukari Takahashi,Satoshi Nonomura,Yae K. Sugimura,Alain Ríos,Masanori Kawabata,Kazuto Kobayashi,Fusao Kato,Yutaka Sakai,Yoshikazu Isomura +11 more
TL;DR: Functional spike activity of the PPC and two motor cortices in rats when head-fixed male rats performed right or left unilateral movements was examined, suggesting rodent PPC contributes to ipsilaterally biased motor response and/or planning.
