Neurobiological Dynamics of Goal-directed Behaviour : Interplay among Hippocampus, Basal Ganglia, and Mesolimbic Dopamine Pathway

Author(s) Arnav Verma

Abstract Goals, be it personal or professional, are fundamental to human development and of society as a whole. This paper explores the neurobiological mechanisms underlying the formation of goal-directed behaviour, focusing on the interaction between hippocampus, basal ganglia, and mesolimbic dopamine pathway which facilitates reinforcement learning. Phase 1 highlights the role of the hippocampus in providing a framework for habit formation, by combining declarative and episodic memories to the basal ganglia. Following this, Phase 2 showcases the basal ganglia facilitating the transition from conscious behaviour to automatic behaviours refining motor sequences through repetition and contextual cues provided by the hippocampus. Finally, at Phase 3, the influence of the mesolimbic dopamine system on synaptic plasticity, allows successfully linking goal-directed actions to positive reinforcement and habit formation. By dissecting these interconnected neural processes, the study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of how motivation and cognitive adaptation are shaped by the brain's ability to translate goals into enduring habits.
