Resumo
A motivação para comportamentos dirigidos a objetivos depende da orquestração hierárquica entre sistemas cerebrais de valoração e controle executivo. Esta revisão integrativa sintetizou evidências de que a dopamina, atuando no eixo mesocorticolímbico, sinaliza primariamente o erro de predição de recompensa e mobiliza o esforço necessário para a ação, fundamentando o componente de "desejo" (wanting) motivacional. Este sinal é integrado por circuitos corticoestriatais, nos quais a conectividade funcional entre o estriado ventral e o córtex pré-frontal dorsolateral é essencial para transformar a valoração em planos de ação persistentes, capazes de superar custos e distrações. A desregulação deste sistema gera psicopatologias opostas: a hipofunção e a desconexão frontoestriatal estão associadas à apatia e anedonia na depressão, enquanto a hipersensibilização do sistema de recompensa a estímulos específicos sustenta a busca compulsiva no vício. Conclui-se que a motivação adaptativa requer o equilíbrio dinâmico e a comunicação eficaz dentro desta rede, oferecendo um modelo integrado para o desenvolvimento de intervenções direcionadas.
