* The Role of the Basal Ganglia in Habit Formation Week 10 Group 1 Amanda Ayoub Kindra Akridge Barbara Kim Alyona Koneva Explain the difference between a goal directed action and a habit, and provide a couple of your own examples of each A goal directed behavior is when you are doing something for a result A habit is done without regard for the consequence but done as a reflex Nail biting, smoking, brushing teeth, etc 2.What is meant in the article by “levels of analysis” and how will it shape this article? The Levels of Analysis are the different levels at which we examine the application of intentional actions. These levels include: molecular, cellular, neuronal circuitry, brain structures, and behaviors. This type of analysis specifically looks for the circuitry and structures that allows behavior to be intentional, purposeful, and to exude a specific outcome. These levels also shape this article because they allow us to examine the neural basis of intentional action/habit formation, instead of interpreting all behavior through the viewpoint of a certain S-R (stimulus-response) 3. Show us the Basal Ganglia, and discuss neurotransmitters and their functions …   3. Show us the Basal Ganglia, and discuss neurotransmitters and their functions …  The following diagrams show 2 coronal slices that have been superimposed to include the involved basal ganglia structures. Dopaminergic pathway leads to GABAergic (dis-inhibitory) direct pathway Inhibitory GABA-containing projection neurons 3. Show us…The main components of the basal ganglia are the striatum, which consist of the caudate nucleus and the putamen, and the globus pallidus. The largest component, the striatum, receives input from many brain areas but sends output only to other components of the basal ganglia. The pallidum receives its most important input from the striatum (either directly or indirectly), and sends inhibitory output to a number of motor-related ar
