Ventral stratium
From Deliberative Democracy Institiute Wiki
The Ventral Stratium is positivly corrlated with effort, and thus it is sought to be involved in motivation[1]. It is involved in reward system[2]. release of dopamine in the ventral stratium cause good feeling. Dopamine depletion in ventral striatum reduces propensity for physical effort [3]
