Segregated basal ganglia output pathways correspond to genetically divergent neuronal subclasses

Abstract excerpt

The basal ganglia control multiple sensorimotor behaviors through anatomically segregated and topographically organized subcircuits with outputs to specific downstream circuits. However, it is unclear how the anatomical organization of basal ganglia output circuits relates to the molecular diversity of cell types. Here, we demonstrate that the major output nucleus of the basal ganglia, the substantia nigra pars...
