Скачать или смотреть Striatum's Role in Action: Motor Control and Movement Specification

Neuroscience News reports on research that challenges the traditional view of the striatum's function in the brain. The study suggests that the striatum, a part of the basal ganglia, collaborates with the motor cortex to fine-tune movement execution rather than selecting actions. Researchers used a novel "reach-to-pull" system to record neural activity in mice, demonstrating that both regions are involved in specifying movement parameters. This finding redefines our understanding of motor control, which could lead to improved treatments for movement disorders like Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. The research emphasizes the importance of studying similar actions to distinguish between specification and selection in brain activity. The findings indicate that behavior emerges from multiple brain regions working together instead of a single region controlling everything.
