The cerebral cortex is interconnected with two major subcortical structures: the basal ganglia
and the cerebellum. How and where cerebellar circuits interact with basal ganglia circuits
has been a longstanding question. Using transneuronal transport of rabies virus in
macaques, we found that a disynaptic pathway links an output stage of cerebellar
processing, the dentate nucleus, with an input stage of basal ganglia processing, the
striatum.

Abstract
The cerebral cortex is interconnected with two major subcortical structures: the basal ganglia and the cerebellum. How and where cerebellar circuits interact with basal ganglia circuits has been a longstanding question. Using transneuronal transport of rabies virus in macaques, we found that a disynaptic pathway links an output stage of cerebellar processing, the dentate nucleus, with an input stage of basal ganglia processing, the striatum.
