The ventral basal ganglia, a selection mechanism at the crossroads of space, strategy, and reward.

Abstract: The basal ganglia are often conceptualised as three parallel domains that include all the constituent nuclei. The 'ventral domain' appears to be critical for learning flexible behaviours for exploration and foraging, as it is the recipient of converging inputs from amygdala, hippocampal formation and prefrontal cortex, putatively centres for stimulus evaluation, spatial navigation, and planning/contingency, respectively. However, compared to work on the dorsal domains, the rich potential for quantitative theor… Show more

“…While traditionally seen as a 'conflict control centre', the ACC (together with subcortical structures, especially the basal ganglia, e.g., Humphries & Prescott, 2010) is now often regarded as serving the more general function of tracking the history of events and their outcomes (e.g., Kennerley, Walton, Behrens, Buckley, & Rushworth, 2006;Nachev, 2006). Accordingly, monitoring and decision-making views of ACC function (see Botvinick, 2007) might 2 In this idealized version, accumulation of target-related activity is assumed to be always at maximum, i.e., the system is always maximally susceptible to relevant input (note that an equivalent model could be constructed where distractor-related activity affects the rate rather than the onset level of target-activity accumulation).…”

“…The NAc neurons are implicated in behaviors that are elicited by reward-predictive sensory cues [4,17,18] . The anatomical characteristics and functional associations of the NAc indicate that it may play an important role in the development of euphoric feelings and other forms of positive reinforcement.…”

“…Despite these difficulties, recently developed bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) transgenic mice expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) enable the examination of gene expression in these two distinct striatal neurons (Durieux et al, 2011;Ena et al, 2011;Gong et al, 2003;Surmeier et al, 2007). Morphologically indistinguishable striatopallidal and striatonigral neuronal subtypes comprise approximately 90-95% of striatal neurons (Graybiel, 2000;Humphries and Prescott, 2010). Striatopallidal neurons, which project to the ventral pallidum or globus pallidus, can be identified by the dopamine D2 receptor (D2R).…”
