Vargas R, Verstynen T
Commun Psychol . 2025 Jan; 3(1):5. PMID: 39833297
Social groups represent a collective identity defined by a distinct consensus of concepts (e.g., ideas, values, and goals) whose structural relationship varies between groups. Here we set out to measure...

Clapp M, Bahuguna J, Giossi C, Rubin J, Verstynen T, Vich C
PLoS One . 2025 Jan; 20(1):e0310367. PMID: 39808625
Here we introduce CBGTPy, a virtual environment for designing and testing goal-directed agents with internal dynamics that are modeled on the cortico-basal-ganglia-thalamic (CBGT) pathways in the mammalian brain. CBGTPy enables...

Giossi C, Bahuguna J, Rubin J, Verstynen T, Vich C
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2024 Nov; 121(47):e2408505121. PMID: 39536079
Reactive inhibitory control is crucial for survival. Traditionally, this control in mammals was attributed solely to the hyperdirect pathway, with cortical control signals flowing unidirectionally from the subthalamic nucleus (STN)...

Nestor K, Rasero J, Betzel R, Gianaros P, Verstynen T
ArXiv . 2024 Aug; PMID: 39184535
Mammalian functional architecture flexibly adapts, transitioning from integration where information is distributed across the cortex, to segregation where information is focal in densely connected communities of brain regions. This flexibility...

Banuelos C, Creswell K, Walsh C, Manuck S, Gianaros P, Verstynen T
Soc Cogn Affect Neurosci . 2024 Jul; 19(1). PMID: 38988197
Different dopamine (DA) subtypes have opposing dynamics at postsynaptic receptors, with the ratio of D1 to D2 receptors determining the relative sensitivity to gains and losses, respectively, during value-based learning....

Bahuguna J, Verstynen T, Rubin J
bioRxiv . 2024 Jun; PMID: 38826315
All mammals exhibit flexible decision policies that depend, at least in part, on the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic (CBGT) pathways. Yet understanding how the complex connectivity, dynamics, and plasticity of CBGT circuits...

Rasero J, Betzel R, Sentis A, Kraynak T, Gianaros P, Verstynen T
Netw Neurosci . 2024 May; 8(1):335-354. PMID: 38711543
It is commonplace in neuroscience to assume that if two tasks activate the same brain areas in the same way, then they are recruiting the same underlying networks. Yet computational...

Giossi C, Rubin J, Gittis A, Verstynen T, Vich C
Eur J Neurosci . 2024 Apr; 60(9):6129-6144. PMID: 38659055
For decades, the external globus pallidus (GPe) has been viewed as a passive way-station in the indirect pathway of the cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic (CBGT) circuit, sandwiched between striatal inputs and basal...
