| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Animals are able to switch from goal directed decision-making to habitual decision-making through a repeated learning. The goal directed decision-making is flexible action, and habitudal decision-making is automatic action. The role of the corticostriatal pathway in goal directed decision-making has been reported, but the involvement of the corticostriatal pathway in habitual decision-making is largely unknown. In this study, we focused on the corticostriatal pathway as a neural circuit that controls habitual decision making, and evaluated roles of this pathyway by using a neural pathway-selective gene expression system.
