Exercise alters cortico-basal ganglia network functional connectivity: A mesoscopic level analysis informed by anatomic parcellation defined in the mouse brain connectome
Abstract:The basal ganglia are important modulators of the cognitive and motor benefits of exercise. However, the neural networks underlying these benefits remain poorly understood. Our study systematically analyzed exercise-associated changes in functional connectivity in the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic network during the performance of a new motor task, with regions-of-interest defined based on mesoscopic domains recently defined in the mouse brain structural connectome. Mice were trained on a motorized treadmill … Show more
