Collateral-defined prefrontal-striatal circuits partition behavioral vigor during appetitive goal pursuit
Motivated behavior unfolds through a sequence of appetitive processes that transform an intention to act into pursuit of a goal. Yet how behavioral vigor is regulated across distinct components of appetitive goal pursuit, and the neural mechanisms underlying this regulation, remain unclear. Here we show that the vigor of action initiation and reward approach is differentially regulated at both…
