Distinct involvements of the subthalamic nucleus subpopulations in reward-biased decision-making in monkeys
The subthalamic nucleus (STN) is a part of the indirect and hyperdirect pathways in the basal ganglia (BG) and has been implicated in movement control, impulsivity, and decision-making. We recently…
