Two perennial questions
What causes (starts, maintains,
stops) behaviour?
Why does behaviour vary in its
intensity?

What is motivation?
Motivation derives from movere
(Latin for “to move”)
Processes that give
behaviour energy and
direction (Reeve, 2015).

Three principles in motivational and
emotional brain research
Specific brain structures generate specific
motivational states. e.g.,
hypothalamus → hunger
Biochemical agents stimulate these brain
structures. e.g.,
ghrelin → bloodstream → hypothalamus
Day-to-day events stir biochemical agents
into action. e.g.,
dieting & sleep deprivation → ↑ ghrelin & ↓ leptin

Amygdala
 Interconnected nuclei which respond to
threatening and emotionally significant
events; each nuclei serves a different function involved in
self-preservation e.g., anger, fear, anxiety
 Impairment -> tameness, affective neutrality, lack of
emotion responsiveness, preference for social isolation over
affiliation, willingness to approach previously frightening stimuli,
and impaired ability to learn that a stimulus signals +ve
reinforcement
 Involved in perception of others' emotions,
facial expression, and our mood,
especially negative emotionality
 Stimulation activates neighbouring
structures (e.g., hypothalamus and release of
neurotransmitters)

Basal ganglia
 Motivational modulation of movement and action –
energises or inhibits implementation of action plans
 Meaning:
 Basal: At the base (of the cortex)
 Ganglion: Structure of several nerve cell bodies and
synapses, often forming a swelling on a nerve fibre.
(plural: ganglia)
 Cluster of many different small nuclei that work to
collectively provide movement and action with
motivational and emotional punch
 Closely connected to:
 cortical areas (to receive action plans)
 motor areas (to execute plans)

Basal ganglia
25
Ventral striatum and nucleus accumbens
Based on Reeve (2015), pp. 63-66
 Basal ganglia includes the striatum which = reward
centre, especially ventral (lower) striatum which
includes the nucleus accumbens – this is where we
experience hedonic (pleasantness) evaluation of
stimuli
 Activation of the reward centre helps us to learn
what to like/prefer and what to want
 Reward is fundamental to motivation, survival,
learning, and well-being
 Environmental stimuli characteristics are processed
in the amygdala and ventral striatum, with
experience of pleasurable feelings occurring in the
nucleus accumbens (e.g., “I like it”).

Ventral tegmental area
 From a neuroscience point of view, reward is
dopamine release within the nucleus accumbens
 The VTA manufactures brain dopamine (a
neurotransmitter)
 VTA projects fibres into the NA; the VTA and NA
form the neural basis for the dopamine-based
reward centre
 VTA/NA also project into the :
 prefrontal cortex - conscious experience of pleasure
 orbitofrontal cortex - store learned value of environmental
objects
 basal ganglia - initiate motivated action
 Unexpected good news and anticipation of reward
also trigger the dopamine-based reward pathway

Hypothalamus
 Less than 1% of brain volume, but it is a
'motivational giant'
 Collection of 20 neighbouring and interconnected
nuclei that serve separate and discrete functions
 Regulates the pituitary gland (endocrine system's
'master gland') which regulates hormones
 Regulates the ANS (arousal (sympathetic
activation) and relaxation (parasympathetic
activation) (e.g., arousal - hypo -> pit -> stimulates adrenal glands to
produce its hormones (epinephrine, norepinephrine) -> fight or flight)
 Regulates a range of important biological
functions including eating, drinking and mating

Prefrontal cortex
 Cerebral cortex sends sends information to the
limbic system to influence emotion
 Prefrontal cortex houses a person's conscious
goals which compete against one another
 Right prefrontal cortex:
 generates negative and avoidance-oriented
feelings (BIS)
 Left prefrontal cortex
 generates positive and approach-oriented
feelings (BAS)
 Personality differences indicate greater right or

“Dopamine release stimulates good feelings.”“Dopamine release stimulates good feelings.”
39
Dopamine
Dopamine release and incentives: Incentives (stimuli that
foreshadow the imminent delivery of rewards) triggers dopamine release.
Dopamine release and reward: Dopamine release teaches us
which events in the environments are rewarding.
Dopamine and motivated action: Dopamine release
activates voluntary goal-directed approach responses.
Addictions: Addictive drugs are potent reinforcers because their repeated usage
produces hypersensitivity to dopamine stimulation.
Liking and wanting: For the full experience of reward, wanting and liking
need to occur together.

The world in which brain lives
Motivation cannot be separated from
the social context in which it is embedded
• Environmental events act as the natural
stimulators of the brain’s basic motivational
process.
We are not always consciously aware of
the motivational basis of our behaviour
• A person is not consciously aware of why he or
she committed the social or antisocial act.

Need:
When needs are nurtured
and satisfied, well-being is
maintained and enhanced.
Motivational
states provide
the impetus to
act before
damage
occurs to
psychological
and bodily
well-being.
If neglected or frustrated,
the need’s thwarting will
produce damage that
disrupts biological or
psychological well-being.
Any condition within a person that is
essential and necessary for life, growth,
and well-being.

  22. Image source: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Maslow%27s_Hierarchy_of_Needs.svg Maslow posited that the individual’s basic motives formed a hierarchy of needs, with needs at each level requiring satisfaction before achieving the next level. Biological: Bottom level needs, such as hunger and thirst, require satisfaction before other needs can begin operation. Safety is a requirement to attend to needs for protection from danger, need for security, comfort, and freedom from fear. Attachment is the need to belong, affiliate with others, love and to be loved. Esteem is the needs to like oneself, to see oneself as competent and effective, and to do what is necessary to earn the esteem of others. Cognitive: Humans demand thought stimulation, a need to know one’s past, to comprehend current existence, and to predict the future. Esthetic: Need for creativity, and the desire for beauty and order. Self-actualisation: Individual has moved beyond basic needs in the quest for fullest development of his/her potential. Individual is self-aware, self-accepting, socially responsive, creative, spontaneous, open to novelty and challenge. Transcendence: a step beyond fulfilment of individual potential, may lead some individuals to higher states of consciousness and a cosmic vision of one’s part in the universe. Maslow’s hierarchy presents an upbeat view of human motivation, with the core of the theory being the need for each individual to grow and actualise his/her highest potential.
