amygdala

nucleus accumbens

anterior cingulate cortex

basal ganglia

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Reward learning and motivation are strongly influenced by the amygdala. Researchers at Vanderbilt University found that “go-getters” who are more willing to work hard have greater dopamine signaling in the striatum and prefrontal cortex-two areas known to impact motivation and reward.
Detailed explanation-2: -The mesolimbic pathway, sometimes referred to as the reward pathway, is a dopaminergic pathway in the brain. The pathway connects the ventral tegmental area in the midbrain to the ventral striatum of the basal ganglia in the forebrain. The ventral striatum includes the nucleus accumbens and the olfactory tubercle.
