Topic: naturalistic foraging task

In their daily life, humans and other animals continuously face the need to quickly remember what to do in familiar contexts and how to do it. Generally, the basal ganglia, and more specifically the dorsal striatum (dStr), are believed to be implicated in high-level functions (storage of procedural memories and/or action selection/suppression) and therefore drive the execution of learned actions. However, other studies have shown that the dStr might also be implicated in the moment-to-moment kinematics specification of learned movements, or the vigor of reward-oriented actions, which reflect m
