Survival demands that safe and unsafe contexts are met with different locomotor profiles, yet whether striatal microcircuitry links contextual valence to spontaneous locomotor vigor is unresolved. Here we test for striosome contributions to spontaneous locomotion using ablation, calcium imaging and chemogenetics in the context of a modified Light/Dark box test. We found that locomotor speed reflects the unlearned, external valence differential present in this test, and that striosomes gate valence-oriented speed selection. Our data suggest that striosomes dampen motor vigor associated with lesser valence, or elevated anxiety.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
