We're all familiar with Pavlovian conditioning, in which a reward-anticipatory behavior follows a reward-predicting stimulus. Perhaps you experience it yourself when passing a café or restaurant and ...

DGIST Department of Brain Sciences Professor Lee Kwang and his team have discovered a new correlation between neural signaling in the brain and dopamine signaling in the striatum. The human brain ...

Huntington's disease is a rare genetic, autosomal dominant, neurodegenerative disease, caused by CAG repeat expansions in the ...

The new work sheds light on the role of striatum in motor control, information that could help researchers better understand movement disorders, like Parkinson's and Huntington's.

Within the human brain, movement is coordinated by a brain region called the striatum, which sends instructions to motor ...
