Exerpt: 
"The pervasive use of the fear conditioning paradigm in rodents has meant that, for many years the amygdala was thought of as the brain’s ‘fear’ module. 
Accumulating evidence, from patient data, lesion studies in non-human primates and single neuron recordings convincingly paints a ...

Basal Ganglia (Lecture 10 of 16 in NEUR0014: Neural Basis of Motivation and Learning) 
 
Thorough review of the basal ganglia as it relates to learning of behaviours. 
Traditionally thought to support procedural learning (i.e. habit formation), more recent research supports the basal ganglia to play a role in both goal-oriented (dorso-medial striatum) and habitual (dorso-lateral striatum) behaviour.
