Striosome–dendron bouquets highlight a unique striatonigral circuit targeting dopamine-containing neurons

The dopamine systems of the brain powerfully influence movement and motivation. We demonstrate that striatonigral fibers originating in striosomes form highly unusual bouquet-like arborizations that target bundles of ventrally extending dopamine-containing dendrites and clusters of their parent nigr...
