Dorsal ACC decision making system

From Deliberative Democracy Institiute Wiki

The ACC decision making system. Taken from: Holroyd & Yeung, An intefgreation theory of aantirior cingulate cortex function: option selection in hirarchical renforcing learning, 2011

Based on Holroys & Yeung 2011[1] See also Holroys & Yeung 2012[2]

Learning is induced because of surprise (RPE). The dACC is concerned more with attention and motor control processes involved in behavioral adjustment. The dopamine RPE system is the process from which a learning is happening[3].

The Ventral Stratium is positivly corrlated with effort, and thus it is sought to be involved in motivation[4]. It is involved in reward system[5].
