Striatal indirect pathway mediates hesitation.
Article in bioRxiv : the preprint server for biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Determining the best possible action in an uncertain situation is often challenging, and organisms frequently need extra time to deliberate. This pause in behavior in response to uncertainty - also known as hesitation - commonly occurs in many aspects of daily life, yet its neural circuits are poorly understood. Here we present the first experimental paradigm that reliably evokes hesitation in mice. Using cell-type specific electrophysiology and optogenetics, we show that indirect, but not direct, pathway spiny projection neurons specifically in the dorsomedial striatum mediate hesitation. These data indicate that the basal ganglia circuits controlling the pausing involved in cognitive processes like hesitation are distinct from those that control other types of behavioral inhibition, such as cue-induced stopping.
