Striatal function scrutinized through the PAN-TAN-FSI triumvirate by Paul Apicella, Anne-Caroline Martel, Kevin Marche

“…Considerable research has been devoted to exploring the behavior-related activities of neurons classified electrophysiologically into PANs, TANs, and FSIs in animals engaged in task performance, mostly monkeys. Although precise neuron identification remains a major challenge, such electrophysiological studies have provided insights into the functional properties of presumed distinct striatal neuronal populations. …”
