\nChip Gerfen (NIMH) talks about his defining work in describing the input-output organization of the basal ganglia, and how early ideas of pathway-level organization principles have yielded an appreciation of the explosive anatomical and molecular diversity of individual neurons within those pathways. The group discusses Chip\u2019s new spearheading of single axon anatomical projection mapping in striatum, and what clues it may offer to our understanding of basal ganglia function.
