5. 초록
In everyday life, animals should utilize both automatic and controlled behavior to adapt various conditions. However, these behaviors are conflict each other because automatic behavior is based on the stable long-term memory whereas controlled behavior is based on the flexible short-term memory. It would be difficult that a single neuronal circuit guides both conflicting behaviors by encoding two types of memory. One simple answer is that separate brain circuits selectively encode each of memory to guide each behavior. In this seminar, how the distinct brain networks selectively guide the automatic and controlled behavior will be examined. Specifically, distinct networks in basal ganglia system will be focused; automatic behavior is guided by caudal basal ganglia circuits whereas controlled behavior is guided by rostral basal ganglia circuits. This finding may provide an opportunity for differential diagnosis and treatment of basal ganglia disorders, such as Parkinson’s disease.
