Abstract
A common conjecture about the basal ganglia holds that these nuclei and their cortical inputs subserve relatively automatic stimulus–response behavior (habits) and other procedural memories. This speculative hypothesis warrants critical reassessment. No unequivocal evidence supports the assignment of this information-processing specialization to the basal ganglia or its cortical afferents.
