Abstract
⺠Ann Kelley studied functionally distinct direct vs. indirect amygdalostriatal pathways. ⺠The entire caudal striatum receives afferents from deep basal amygdalar nuclei. ⺠The rostral ventromedial striatum differentially receives amygdalar input. ⺠The ancient amygdala-to-striatum pathways participate in stimulus-response valuation. ⺠Plasticity in the pathways underlies addiction-related memory, craving and relapse.
