Computational models of motivated action selection in corticostriatal circuits

Computational models of the basal ganglia have matured and received increasing attention over the last decade. This article reviews some of the theoretical advances offered by these models, focusing on motor and cognitive action selection, learning, and the interaction between multiple corticostriatal circuits in selection and learning.

► Computational models of basal ganglia have matured in the last decade.
► Models simulate on action selection and learning in motor and cognitive domains.
► The interaction between multiple corticostriatal circuits is also considered.
