Distinct cortico-striatal compartments drive competition between adaptive and automatized behavior. by William H Barnett, Alexey Kuznetsov, Christopher C Lapish

“…These striatal subregions each operate on unique cortical input: the DMS receives input from the prefrontal cortex (PFC) which represents outcomes, and the DLS receives input from the premotor cortex which determines action selection. Following an initial learning of a two-alternative forced choice task, we subjected the model to reversal learning, reward devaluation, and learning a punished outcome. …”
