title: Systems Neuroscience: The Balancing Act of Behavioral Regulation.
abstract: In the brain, the striatum and prefrontal cortex interact to gauge the value of actions and the self-regulatory demands in a given environment. New research, involving manipulation of the neural circuitry, has revealed multiple routes by which 'imbalances' in circuit function cause regulation deficits.
