In the field of instrumental learning, mammals are able to implement two different behavioral strategies to interact with the environment: goal directed behavior (GDB), computationally flexible but slow, suitable to learn new tasks and adapt to changing environments; and habitual behavior, hard-coded, but suitable for faster motor responses and facing recurrent tasks. The advantage of GDB resides in the use of an inner representation of the environment, a ‘model of the world’, to encode stimuli-actions-outcomes associations, and its exploitation to choose future actions, in a process called planning. GDB is supported by large-scale networks involving both cortical and subcortical regions. Nevertheless, several open questions still remain. T...
