Dopamine system disorders ranging from movement disorders to addiction and schizophrenia involve striatal medium-spiny neurons, yet their functional connectivity has been difficult to determine comprehensively. We generated a mouse with conditional Channelrhodopsin-2 expression restricted to medium-spiny neurons and assessed the specificity and strength of their intrinsic connections in the striatum, their projections to the globus pallidus, and to the substantia nigra. In the striatum, medium-spiny neurons connected with other MSNs and tonically-active cholinergic interneurons, but not with fast-spiking GABA interneurons. In the globus pallidus, medium-spiny neurons connected strongly with one class of electrophysiologically identified neurons, but weakly with the other. In the substantia nigra, medium-spiny neurons connected strongly with GABA, but not with dopamine neurons. Projections to the globus pallidus showed solely D2-mediated presynaptic inhibition, while projections to the substantia nigra showed D1-mediated presynaptic facilitation. This optogenetic approach defines the functional connectome of the striatal medium-spiny neuron.
