A diagram of the neural circuitry involved in the decision-making component of the reward system. Input from the thalmus (Thal) is sent to the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), which connects to the locus coerulus, amygdala (AMG, particularly the basolateral nucleus, BSA), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), and prefrontal cortex (PFC). Output from the ACC is sent to the basal ganglia (BG).
