The corticostriatal input to giant aspiny interneurons in the rat: a candidate pathway for synchronising the response to reward-related cues

Tonically active neurons (TANs) in the mammalian striatum show a pause in their ongoing firing activity in response to an auditory cue that is paired with a reward. This response to reward-related cues develops through learning and becomes expressed synchronously by TANs located throughout the stria...
