Striatal cholinergic interneurons display activity-related phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6.

Cholinergic interneurons (CINs) provide the main source of acetylcholine to all striatal regions, and strongly modulate dopaminergic actions through complex regulation of pre- and post-synaptic acetylcholine receptors. Although striatal CINs have a well-defined electrophysiological profile, their bi...

Striatal cholinergic interneurons display activity-related phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S6.
