A surprising pathway that lets the striatum talk directly to the auditory cortex
For decades, neuroscientists have thought about communication between the cerebral cortex and the basal ganglia in a fairly linear way. The cortex sends information into the basal ganglia, where that information is processed forward through circuits involved in movement, learning and decision-making. Signals can eventually return to the cortex indirectly through well-established pathways…
