my honors thesis is on this, and dear jeebus it is moving slow

Here’s what I understand:

1. detailed neural pathways from the frontal regions -> the striatum -> motor cortex
2. the effects of submliminal motivation, incentive, and arousal
3. the effects of neuroleptics
4. how to measure it with a grip device

Here’s what I need to learn:

1. the psychology of motivation
2. how ‘interoception’ (think insula) plays a role…in everything…ever
