     This important study records basal ganglia output neurons in the substantia nigra pars reticulata of head-fixed mice performing self-timed reaching and licking tasks. Contrary to simple predictions of action selection and inhibitory gating by basal ganglia output, the authors report that most substantia nigra pars reticulata neurons modulate congruently across reaching, licking, and reaches to different targets. Optogenetic identification of substantia nigra pars reticulata neurons projecting to the central and lateral, orofacial superior colliculus shows that these congruent signals are routed to both output zones. Evidence from the recordings is convincing, while that from the projection-specific experiments is solid but rests on few animals and would be strengthened by increased power and clearer criteria for unit identification.

     Loss of POLQ function is synthetically lethal with BRCA1 or BRCA2 deficiency, as is pharmacological inhibition of its motor (ATPase) or polymerase activity. This important manuscript validates an inhibitor of the DNA polymerase theta (POLθ) motor domain in biochemical and cell-based assays and provides evidence of its efficacy against homologous recombination-deficient tumors in preclinical and clinical settings, particularly in combination with PARP inhibitors. The experiments are rigorous, the evidence is convincing, and the results are appropriately interpreted. This work will be of considerable interest to the ovarian cancer research community.
