View source for Need-decision-action-reward cycle

Need-decision-[[action]]-[[rewards|reward]] cycle or NDAR cycle, is a cycle in which a deacision about an action should create a situation that fulfill a need which the decsion aimed in fulfiling.

[[OFC]] is predominantly associated with ([[learning|learned]]) [[value|valuation]] of (reinforcing) stimuli, but there is evidence of a distinct process in [[ACC]] (which projects anatomically to premotor regions) of [[value|value encoding]] for reinforced actions, and ACC sulcus may be required for learning of [[action]] values<ref>Kennerley SW, Walton ME, Behrens TEJ, Buckley MJ, Rushworth MFS.
