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

PLoS 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 ...

Basal ganglia atrophy as a marker of multiple sclerosis progression

Biomarkers in Neuropsychiatry, 2023
This study presents the findings of the magnetic resonance morphometric analysis of brain subcortical structures in patients with remitting relapsing multiple sclerosis (RRMS) and secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (SPMS) phenotypes in comparison ...

A Subset of Nucleus Accumbens Neurons Receiving Dense and Functional Prelimbic Cortical Input Are Required for Cocaine Seeking

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022
BackgroundPrelimbic cortical projections to the nucleus accumbens core are critical for cue-induced cocaine seeking, but the identity of the accumbens neuron(s) targeted by this projection, and the transient neuroadaptations contributing to relapse ...

Nucleus accumbens local circuit for cue-dependent aversive learning

Cell Reports, 2023
Summary: Response to threatening environmental stimuli requires detection and encoding of important environmental features that dictate threat. Aversive events are highly salient, which promotes associative learning about stimuli that signal this threat.

Chemogenetic Stimulation and Silencing of the Insula, Amygdala, Nucleus Accumbens, and Their Connections Differentially Modulate Alcohol Drinking in Rats

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020
The anterior insular cortex is hypothesized to represent interoceptive effects of drug reward in the service of goal-directed behavior. The insula is richly connected, but the insula circuitry in addiction remains poorly characterized.

Macrostructural alterations of subcortical grey matter in psychogenic erectile dysfunction. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Psychogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) has been defined as the persistent inability to attain and maintain an erection sufficient to permit sexual performance. It shows a high incidence and prevalence among men, with a significant impact on the quality of

Tumor suppression and improvement in immune systems by specific activation of dopamine D1-receptor-expressing neurons in the nucleus accumbens

Molecular Brain, 2022
Recent research has suggested that the mesolimbic dopamine network that mainly terminates in the nucleus accumbens may positively control the peripheral immune system.

Low frequency deep brain stimulation of nucleus accumbens shell neuronal subpopulations attenuates cocaine seeking selectively in male rats

Addiction Neuroscience, 2023
The present study examined the effect of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the nucleus accumbens shell on cocaine seeking and neuronal plasticity in rats.

Glutamate Afferents From the Medial Prefrontal Cortex Mediate Nucleus Accumbens Activation by Female Sexual Behavior

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2019
Low levels of desire and arousal are the primary sexual dysfunctions in women, necessitating neurobiological studies of sexual motivation in female animal models.
