During preceding posts in this cycle, I explained to facilitate the brain (primarily the mesolimbic system) integrates various factors to decide whether or not to drive food seeking and consumption behaviors. These include homeostatic factors such as appetite, and non-homeostatic factors such as palatability and the social setting.
During this pole, I'll examine the reward usage more compactly. This is the usage to facilitate governs the motivation representing food, and behavioral reinforcement (a form of learning). It does this by receiving in sequence from other parts of the brain to facilitate it uses to determine if it's appropriate to drive (motivate) food seeking behavior. I covered its role in motivation in the chief pole of the cycle, so in this pole I'll attend to reinforcement.
