Striatum

Parts

NucleusAccumbens, caudate, putamen. Sometimes these are grouped into the VentralStriatum and the DorsalStriatum? (used to be NeoStriatum).

For more on the anatomy of the striatum, see (Voorn et al 2004).

For details on cholinergic interneurons within the striatum, see Zhou et al '02.
