Nucleus accumbens controls wakefulness by a subpopulation of neurons expressing dopamine D1 receptors

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The nucleus accumbens regulates many behaviours that depend on arousal. Here the authors show that dopamine D1 receptor neurons in the nucleus accumbens can directly regulate wakefulness.

Directed Communication between Nucleus Accumbens and Neocortex in Humans Is Differentially Supported by Synchronization in the Theta and Alpha Band. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Here, we report evidence for oscillatory bi-directional interactions between the nucleus accumbens and the neocortex in humans. Six patients performed a demanding covert visual attention task while we simultaneously recorded brain activity from deep ...

Closing the loop on impulsivity via nucleus accumbens delta-band activity in mice and man [PDF]

open access: bronzeProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2017
Significance We reveal prominent delta oscillations in the nucleus accumbens preceding food reward in mice and use them to guide responsive neurostimulation to suppress binge-like behavior.

Opioid-Mediated Astrocyte–Neuron Signaling in the Nucleus Accumbens

open access: yesCells, 2019
Major hallmarks of astrocyte physiology are the elevation of intracellular calcium in response to neurotransmitters and the release of neuroactive substances (gliotransmitters) that modulate neuronal activity.

The Nucleus Accumbens: A Comprehensive Review [PDF]

open access: yesStereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery, 2015
There is increasing interest among functional neurosurgeons in the potential for novel therapies to impact upon diseases beyond movement disorders and pain. A target of increasing interest is the nucleus accumbens (NAc), which has long been studied as a key brain region mediating a variety of behaviors, including reward and satisfaction. As such, focal

Brain-Wide Mapping of Afferent Inputs to Accumbens Nucleus Core Subdomains and Accumbens Nucleus Subnuclei [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2020
The nucleus accumbens (NAc) is the ventral part of the striatum and the interface between cognition, emotion, and action. It is composed of three major subnuclei: i.e., NAc core (NAcC), lateral shell (NAcLS), and medial shell (NAcMS), which exhibit ...

Subregional Structural Alterations in Hippocampus and Nucleus Accumbens Correlate with the Clinical Impairment in Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease Clinical Spectrum: Parallel Combining Volume and Vertex-Based Approach

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2017
Deep gray matter structures are associated with memory and other important functions that are impaired in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
