Three networks of integration through cortico-basal ganglia pathways. (1) Fibers from different prefrontal areas converge within subregions of the striatum. (2) Through the organization of striato-nigro-striatal (SNS) projections, the VS can influence the dorsal striatum. (3) The nonreciprocal cortico-thalamic projection carries information from reward-related regions, through cognitive, and motor controls. dACC=dorsal anterior cingulate cortex; dPFC=dorsal prefrontal cortex; OFC=orbital frontal cortex; vmPFC=ventral medial prefrontal cortex. Red=vmPFC pathways; dark orange=OFC pathways; light orange=dACC pathways; yellow=dPFC pathways; green=output to motor control areas.
