The Corticostriatal is a brain circuitry that is also thought to regulate not only the cognitive but also the decisional and behavioral tendencies in human beings. The circuitries integrate aspects of cognitive,sensorimotor, and motivational information. Corticostriatal Circuitries are important not only for basic incentive motivation and instrumental learning functions but also for the higher order cognitive control over decisions, actions, and goal-directed behaviors that can either promote or impair physical and mental health.
