The giant cholinergic interneurons of the striatum are tonically active neurons (TANs) that respond with pauses to appetitive and aversive cues and to novel events. Whereas tonic activity emerges from intrinsic properties of these neurons, glutamatergic inputs from intralaminar thalamic nuclei and dopaminergic inputs from midbrain are required for genesis of pause responses. No prior computational models encompass both intrinsic and synaptically gated dynamics. We present a mathematical model…

A Computational Model of How Cholinergic Interneurons Protect Striatal-dependent Learning
TLDR
A neurobiologically detailed theory of how such learning is mediated by cholinergic interneurons in the striatum is proposed and tested and accounts for a variety of single-cell recording data and some classic behavioral phenomena, including fast reacquisition after extinction.
Striatal Cholinergic Interneurons: How to Elucidate Their Function in Health and Disease
TLDR
The most recent literature is reviewed and it is shown how new techniques have brought considerable insights into the functional role of CINs in normal and pathological states, raising several interesting and novel questions.
Parallel Excitatory and Inhibitory Neural Circuit Pathways Underlie Reward-Based Phasic Neural Responses
TLDR
A large-scale neural circuit model is proposed and it is shown that parallel excitatory and inhibitory pathways underlie the learned neural responses across multiple brain regions during reward and punishment processing.
The Functional Role of Striatal Cholinergic Interneurons in Reinforcement Learning From Computational Perspective
TLDR
It is shown how phasic dopamine release is gated by the TAN pause to deliver reward information for reinforcement learning in a timely manner and how TAN-dopamine interactions are affected by striatal dopamine deficiency to produce poor performance of motor adaptation.
Dopamine mediated dynamical changes in the striatum: a numerical study
TLDR
The aim was to examine the dynamic interactions in this network and study the effects of the dopaminergic/cholinergic time-dependent modulations and the robustness of the TAN subthreshold oscillations.
Phasic Neural responses Abbreviated title : Neural circuit mechanism of multiple reward based learned responses Author names and affiliations
TLDR
A large-scale neural circuit model is proposed and it is shown that parallel excitatory and inhibitory pathways underlie the learned neural responses across multiple brain regions during reward and punishment processing.
Dopaminergic Facilitation of Synaptic Transmission in Layer II of the Lateral Entorhinal Cortex
TLDR
Results demonstrate that both the cAMP-PKA and the PLC-DAG-IP3 signalling pathways may contribute to transient increases in synaptic strength that could mediate enhanced sensory and mnemonic function in the entorhinal cortex during release of dopamine.
A cholinergic feedback circuit to regulate striatal population uncertainty and optimize reinforcement learning
TLDR
This work considers how cholinergic tonically active interneurons (TANs) may endow the striatum with such a mechanism in computational models spanning three Marr's levels of analysis.
A Local Circuit Model of Learned Striatal and Dopamine Cell Responses under Probabilistic Schedules of Reward
TLDR
A local circuit model is simulated to show how learned uncertainty responses are generated, along with phasic RPE responses, on single trials and exhibits the empirically observed dependencies on conditional probability, expected value of reward, and time since onset of the reward-predicting cue.

TLDR
BABE is described, a model of the acetylcholine system in the striatum that provides a unified explanation for these phenomena and shows a greater modulation of response variability in the face of changes in the reward contingences, allowing for faster learning (and re-learning) of option values.

Recurrent Inhibitory Network among Striatal Cholinergic Interneurons
TLDR
A novel microcircuit is proposed in the striatum, in which cholinergic interneurons are connected to one another through GABAergic interneeurons, which may provide a mechanism to convert activation of cholinerential interneuron into widespread recurrent inhibition of these neurons via nicotinic excitation of striatal GABAergic neurons.
Cholinergic interneuron characteristics and nicotinic properties in the striatum.
TLDR
The correlated response of these two broad and dense neurotransmitter systems helps to coordinate the output of the striatum, and is likely to be an important process in sensorimotor planning and learning.
Activation of D2-Like Dopamine Receptors Reduces Synaptic Inputs to Striatal Cholinergic Interneurons
TLDR
It is demonstrated that DA modulates the excitability of cholinergic interneurons through either an excitatory D1-like-mediated postsynaptic mechanism or a presynaptic inhibition of the GABAergic andCholinergic inhibitory synaptic potentials.

TLDR
Data suggest that the TANs respond as do detectors of motivationally relevant events, but they also demonstrate that these neurons are influenced by predictive information based on past experience with a given temporal context, suggesting a unique subset of striatal neurons that might serve a modulatory function, monitoring for temporal relationships between environmental events.
