Many organisms, especially humans, are characterized by their capacity for intentional, goal-directed actions. However, similar behaviours often proceed automatically, as habitual responses to antecedent stimuli. How are goal-directed actions transformed into habitual responses? Recent work combining modern behavioural assays and neurobiological analysis of the basal ganglia has begun to yield insights into the neural basis of habit formation.
许多生物体,尤其是人类,其特点在于具备有意的、目标导向行为的能力。然而,类似的行为往往会自动进行,作为对先前刺激的习惯性反应。目标导向行为是如何转变为习惯性反应的呢?最近将现代行为分析与基底神经节的神经生物学分析相结合的研究,已开始揭示习惯形成的神经基础。
