title: Stop and Think about Basal Ganglia Functional Organization: The Pallido-Striatal "Stop" Route.
abstract: The "arkypallidal" neurons of the globus pallidus (external segment) emit feedback GABAergic projections to the striatum. In this issue of Neuron, Mallet et al. (2016) show that "arkypallidal" neurons provide a Stop signal, suppressing the development of Go-related striatal activity.
