Key result
Serotonin and dopamine linked to distinct corticostriatal behaviors based on resources and environmental stability.
Why the study?
Existing foraging approaches to vigor may not fully account for how neural monitoring of environmental and physiological resources informs effort expenditure.
Key points are not available for this paper at this time.
Extends vigor models via resource neuromodulation; leaves open validation before cardiovascular behavioral applications.
We describe a neural monitor of environmental and physiological resources that informs effort expenditure. Depending on resources and environmental stability, serotonergic and dopaminergic neuromodulations favor different behavioral controls that are organized in corticostriatal loops. This broader perspective produces some suggestions and questions that may not be covered by the foraging approach to vigor of Shadmehr and Ahmed (2020).
