A neural pathway from prefrontal cortex (PFC) to dorsal striatum (DS) has been suggested to mediate cognitive control of behavior, including proactive inhibitory control and attention. However, a direct causal demonstration thereof is lacking. Here, we show that selective chemogenetic silencing of corticostriatal PFC neurons in rats increases premature responses. Wireless single-unit electrophysiological recordings of optogenetically identified corticostriatal PFC neurons revealed that the majority of these neurons encode behavior
