That is "From ventral-medial to dorsal-lateral striatum: Neural correlates of reward-guided decision-making" by Burton et al. They have a nice summary picture.
The first paper that this press release talks about is about amygdala contribution to this process (at least for cocaine addition), where the basolateral amygdala (BLA) is involved as neural involvement in behavior shifts from the ventral to anterior dorsolateral striatum (DLS) and then the amygdala contribution changes to the central nucleus.
It looks like the BLA pathway to the anterior DLS they describe is through the core of the nucleus accumbens to the substantia nigra. The central amygdala projects directly to the substantia nigra.
I found this paper exploring the connection of the central nucleus and the DLS ("Amygdala central nucleus interacts with dorsolateral striatum to regulate the acquisition of habits" by Lingawe and Balleine):

Another interesting paper I found argues that the basic function of the DLS could be "action chunking". "Investigating habits: strategies, technologies and models" by Smith and Graybiel:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3921576/
ETA: I also noticed this paper the other day concerning value judgements in the nucleus accumbens ("Dissecting components of reward: ‘liking’, ‘wanting’, and learning." by Berridge et al.):

Another interesting paper that talks more about the hippocampal system and DLS is "Factors That Influence the Relative Use of Multiple Memory Systems" by Packard and Goodman [pdf]: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jarid_Goodman/publicati...
For one view of the possible role of the amygdala, see Pessoa's 'Emotion and Cognition and the Amygdala: From “what is it?” to “what’s to be done?”' https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2949460/
