Behaviour, internal state , subjective: motivation is a subjective internal state used to explain. Motivated behaviour which is behaviour seems(subjective nature that it interpretation of ) purposeful and goal-directed. Sources, initiation, direction, intensity, persistence: motivation is a hypothetical construct that draws on external sources and internal sources determining initiation, direction, intensity, persistence of behaviour.

Olfactory pathway, olfactory bulb, amygdala, pyriform and entorhinal. Cortex, hippocampus, hypothalamus, thalamus, orbitofrontal cortex, emotion, eating, memory pathways olfactory information, olfactory bulb: the olfactory pathway starts with the olfactory bulb which conveys info it has received from olfactory receptors to the. Information then travels through the hpc, hyt, thl, ending at the orbitofrontal cortex, cortical centre for processing olfactory information.
