How the dynamic interplay of cortico-basal ganglia-thalamic pathways shapes the time course of deliberation and commitment
Fig 5
Temporal activation of CBGT pathways for different decision trajectories along the CLAW.
The direct, indirect, and pallidostriatal pathways across both left and right channels are enclosed in boxes, with their activation strength colored in blue, green, and gold, respectively (color bars at bottom). Darker shades indicate stronger activation within each pathway. Nuclei that play a key role for some phase transitions are indicated near the corresponding arrows.
