Motor cortex can directly drive the globus pallidus neurons in a projection neuron type-dependent manner in the rat

The basal ganglia are critical for the control of motor behaviors and for reinforcement learning. Here, we demonstrate in rats that primary and secondary motor areas (M1 and M2) make functional synaptic connections in the globus pallidus (GP), not usually thought of as an input site of the basal gan...
