Neuroscience
Computational Neuroscience
Behavioral Neuroscience

Background:

The striatum, a basal ganglia input structure, is crucial for decision-making and learning.
Functional modules within the striatum are thought to support context-specific action selection.
Single-neuron recordings reveal significant activity heterogeneity within striatal modules.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify general principles underlying complex striatal activity patterns.
To relate striatal neuronal activity to specific computational functions in behavior.
To propose a framework for understanding striatal roles across diverse tasks and species.

Main Methods:

Survey of striatal activity patterns from published studies.
Analysis of neuronal activity during reward-based decision-making tasks.
Analysis of neuronal activity during perceptual decision-making tasks.

Main Results:

Striatal activity was categorized into two primary computational roles: selection and evaluation.
This selection/evaluation framework unifies findings across different behavioral paradigms.
The framework highlights functional commonalities in striatal computations, irrespective of task specifics.

Conclusions:

A selection-evaluation framework provides a generalized view of striatal function.
This approach facilitates cross-species and cross-task comparisons of striatal mechanisms.
Future research should explore specific questions within this selection-evaluation framework.
