Our results revealed distinct striatal pathways that are differentially related to delay discounting.
2
These results identify striosome and matrix as functionally distinct striatal pathways.

However, the fMRI results show opposite effects in patients compared with controls: enhanced engagement of prefronto- striatal pathways in controls and reduced activity in patients.

Understanding the roles of these striatal pathways in action selection may help to clarify the neuronal mechanisms of decision-making under normal and pathological conditions.
