Striatal medium-sized spiny neurons (MSNs),composed of striatonigral and striatopallidal neurons,are derived from the lateral ganglionic eminence (LGE).We previously have shown that,in Sp9 mutant mice
Temperature is one of the major components in the environment.Animals ranging from fruitflies to humans,develop very sensitive and robust behaviors towards temperature changes.These behaviors include
Changes of cerebral cortex size and brain volume have experienced evolutionary expansion across mammals,which is the cellular base of neuronal network complexity.The existence of cortex folding,allowi
Functional dissection of the role of specific brain circuits in certain behaviors requires the direct monitoring of the activity of their projections in freely behaving animals.Recent developed approa
