Figure 1. Focus of unit research. A. Convergence of corticostriatal and thalamostriatal afferents on spiny neurons forms matrix of alternative connections, modulated by DA and ACh. CINs control groups of SPNs. B. Doubly labelled CINs shown in merged image of GFP (green) and ChAT (red) in dorsolateral striatum; Hoescht DNA labelling (blue) shows nuclei of all cells, predominantly SPNs. Note the fine red axonal arborization of the CINs envelopes many SPNs (unpublished preliminary data, Julie Chouinard, Andres Carrasco). Scale bar 20 µm.
