Proud to be associated with this work led by Kiah Hardcastle and Jesse Marshall. It parses the role of the basal ganglia in the control of learned and innate behaviors, showing that they are essential for one but not the other. Then digs deeper to find the neural basis for this difference. Congrats!

Abstract in brief
- The basal ganglia play a key role in transforming goal-directed actions into habitual responses that occur automatically in reaction to specific stimuli.
- Recent research using behavioral tests and neurobiological approaches has provided new understanding of how habits form in the brain, particularly focusing on the basal ganglia's function.
- This work helps explain the neural mechanisms behind how intentional actions can become automatic over time through habit formation.]
