Orbitofrontal and striatal circuits dynamically encode the shift between goal-directed and habitual actions
Open accessAbstract
Shifting between goal-directed and habitual actions allows for efficient and flexible decision making. Here we demonstrate a novel, within-subject instrumental lever-pressing paradigm, in which mice shift between goal-directed and habitual actions. We identify a role for orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) in actions following outcome revaluation, and confirm that dorsal medial (DMS) and lateral striatum (DLS) mediate different action strategies. Simultaneous in vivo recordings of OFC, DMS and DLS neuronal ensembles during shifting reveal that the same neurons display different activities depending on whether presses are goal-directed or habitual, with DMS and OFC becoming more and DLS less engaged during goal-directed actions. Importantly, the magnitude of neural activity changes in OFC following changes in outcome value positively correlates with the level of goal-directed behavior. Chemogenetic inhibition of OFC disrupts goal-directed actions, whereas optogenetic activation of OFC specifically increases goal-directed pressing. These results also reveal a role for OFC in action revaluation, which has implications for understanding compulsive behavior.

After VR training, mice show a significant reduction in lever pressing in the devalued condition and a positive devaluation index, confirming a goal-directed strategy.
“When the devaluation test was conducted after VR training, there was a significant reduction in lever pressing in the devalued condition resulting in a positive devaluation index (1st test; Fig. 1d–f), confirming that mice employed a goal-directed strategy5,17.”
From Dissociable roles of prefrontal plasticity in decision-making strategy and execution of habitual behavior (2026) · cites this paper as [5]
The Results section ('Mice readily shift between goal-directed actions and habits'; page unavailable) reports significantly less lever pressing after devaluation in RR-trained mice and interprets that sensitivity as goal-directed behavior. The Methods section ('Statistical analyses'; page unavailable) defines an index that is positive when valued-state pressing exceeds devalued-state pressing. The source studied RR training, not the citing paper’s VR-trained mice, so it supports the interpretation but not the specific VR result. (LLM, conf=0.84)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredOFC's functional significance in goal-directed decision-making has been controversial; both activation and inhibition of OFC disrupt flexibility of behavior and shift it to habitual.
“In contrast to the ACC, although a number of studies implicate the OFC in reward-related decision-making, its functional significance in goal-directed decision-making has been controversial; both activation and inhibition of the OFC disrupt flexibility of a behavior and shift it to a habitual one5,44.”
From Dissociable roles of prefrontal plasticity in decision-making strategy and execution of habitual behavior (2026) · cites this paper as [5]
The Results (‘OFC conveys information about changes in action value’; page not supplied) report that OFC inhibition disrupted outcome revaluation in goal-directed mice. Activation increased pressing after devaluation in the goal-directed context, but the paper says it did not alter habitual actions; it does not establish that both manipulations shifted behavior to a habitual strategy. The Discussion (page not supplied) contrasts its finding of an OFC role in goal-directed actions with previous findings, supporting the claim that the role was contested. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredHigher postsynaptic dopamine availability is associated with enhanced motor vigour, for instance speeding up reaction times, and with a very fast habitisation of behaviour.
“This can explain the empirical evidence that higher postsynaptic dopamine availability is associated with enhanced motor vigour, for instance speeding up reaction times (Berridge, 2004, Salamone and Correa, 2012), and with a very fast ‘habitisation’ of behaviour (Gremel and Costa, 2013).”

The Results section, “Mice readily shift between goal-directed actions and habits” (page unavailable), reports that contextual cues induced mice to shift between habitual and goal-directed lever pressing. It does not establish that higher postsynaptic dopamine availability is associated with faster habit formation. The motor-vigour clause is attributed to other citations, not this paper.

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredDisruption of brain regions implicated in goal-directed strategy, including dorsomedial striatum, preserves reinforcement learning yet facilitates habit formation.
“Consistent with this observation, previous behavioral studies in rodents have consistently shown that disruption of brain regions implicated in goal-directed strategy, including the dorsomedial striatum, preserves reinforcement learning, yet facilitates habit formation5,40.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
