Modular deconstruction reveals the dynamical and physical building blocks of a locomotion motor program (2015)
Journal Article

The neural substrates of motor programs are only well understood for small, dedicated circuits. Here we investigate how a motor program is constructed within a large network. We imaged populations of neurons in the Aplysia pedal ganglion during execu...

A new framework for cortico-striatal plasticity: behavioural theory meets In vitro data at the reinforcement-action interface (2015)
Journal Article

Operant learning requires that reinforcement signals interact with action representations at a suitable neural interface. Much evidence suggests that this occurs when phasic dopamine, acting as a reinforcement prediction error, gates plasticity at co...
