The nucleus accumbens as a nexus between values and goals in goal-directed behaviour: a review and a new hypothesis
Goal-directed behaviour is a fundamental means by which animals can flexibly solve the challenges posed by variable external and internal conditions. Recently, the processes and brain mechanisms underlying such behaviour have been extensively studied from behavioural, neuroscientific and computation...
