Basal ganglia subregions

To identify the psychological functions associated with each striatal zone, we calculated for each psychological term included in the NeuroSynth database its likelihood ratio of appearing in a study, given that activation was reported anywhere within a zone. (A) Distribution of likelihood ratios across functional zones indicates a clear functional dissociation. (B) Subjective summary of the main psychological function of each functional zone in a working model. (C) Based on the reported striatal activation and the occurrence of psychological terms in each study, it was possible to identify the most representative studies for each functional zone. The striatal zones identified in our coactivation analysis (Top) and a reconstructed outline of the activation reported in the representative studies (Bottom) are shown
