Difference between Motivational salience and Ventral pallidum

Motivational salience vs. Ventral pallidum

Motivational salience is a cognitive process and a form of attention that motivates, or propels, an individual's behavior towards or away from a particular object, perceived event, or outcome. The ventral pallidum (VP) is a structure within the basal ganglia of the brain.

Similarities between Motivational salience and Ventral pallidum

Motivational salience and Ventral pallidum have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Addiction, Nucleus accumbens, Pleasure, Reward system, Striatum, Ventral tegmental area.

Addiction

Addiction is a brain disorder characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli despite adverse consequences.

Nucleus accumbens

The nucleus accumbens (NAc or NAcc), also known as the accumbens nucleus, or formerly as the nucleus accumbens septi (Latin for nucleus adjacent to the septum) is a region in the basal forebrain rostral to the preoptic area of the hypothalamus.

Pleasure

Pleasure is a broad class of mental states that humans and other animals experience as positive, enjoyable, or worth seeking.

Reward system

The reward system is a group of neural structures responsible for incentive salience (i.e., motivation and "wanting", desire, or craving for a reward), associative learning (primarily positive reinforcement and classical conditioning), and positive emotions, particularly ones which involve pleasure as a core component (e.g., joy, euphoria and ecstasy).

Striatum

The striatum, or corpus striatum (also called the neostriatum and the striate nucleus) is a nucleus (a cluster of neurons) in the subcortical basal ganglia of the forebrain.

Ventral tegmental area

The ventral tegmental area (VTA) (tegmentum is Latin for covering), also known as the ventral tegmental area of Tsai, or simply ventral tegmentum, is a group of neurons located close to the midline on the floor of the midbrain.

Motivational salience and Ventral pallidum Comparison

Motivational salience has 31 relations, while Ventral pallidum has 22. As they have in common 6, the Jaccard index is 11.32% = 6 / (31 + 22).
