Corticostriatal Neurons of the Medial Agranular Cortex of Rats

  • Conference paper
Functions of the Cortico-Basal Ganglia Loop

Summary

The corticostriatal projection is not a single pathway, but rather a number of separate parallel projections arising from distinct classes of corticostriatal cells differentially distributed among the various participating cortical regions. It is likely that these various channels in the corticostriatal projection are carrying different kinds of information as well as distributing it in different patterns among the neurons of the neostriatum, but this is not yet known for certain. The evidence for the existence of diverse corticostriatal cell types will be reviewed here along with the differences between them in structure and function, so far as these are currently known.
