The Effects of Topiramate Applied to the Nucleus Accumbens Region on Morphine Withdrawal Syndrome [PDF]
Aim:Nucleus accumbens, one of the nuclei of the basal ganglia, and dopamine, the neurotransmitter play a critical role in opioid dependence and withdrawal. In opioid withdrawal, the importance of neurotransmitters such as glutamate and gamma aminobutyric

Differential involvement of NMDA, AMPA/kainate, and dopamine receptors in the nucleus accumbens core in the acquisition and performance of pavlovian approach behavior [PDF]
Stimuli paired with primary rewards can acquire emotional valence and the ability to elicit automatic, Pavlovian approach responses that have been shown to be mediated by the nucleus accumbens. The present experiment investigated the effects of infusions

Allopregnanolone and Pentobarbital Infused Into the Nucleus Accumbens Substitute for the Discriminative Stimulus Effects of Ethanol [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The discriminative stimulus effects of ethanol are mediated in part by the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA(A)) receptor system. We have previously shown that microinjections of the competitive GABA(A) agonist muscimol in the nucleus ...

An investigation into the function of single-neuron activity in the mesoaccumbens dopamine system of the rat [PDF]
The mesoaccumbens dopamine system has been implicated in many basic psychological processes (e.g. "wanting" and "liking") and illnesses (e.g. addiction, depression, schizophrenia).

463 Childhood Emotional Neglect on Nucleus Accumbens Connectivity in Adult Survivors of Trauma
OBJECTIVES/GOALS: Neuroimaging research has found that childhood maltreatment is related to reduced activation of the nucleus accumbens. The long-lasting impact of this relationship is not as well understood.

Nucleus accumbens facilitates nociception [PDF]
We have previously demonstrated an opioid link in nucleus accumbens (NAc) that mediates antinociception produced by a novel ascending pain modulation pathway. For example, noxious stimulation induces heterosegmental antinociception that is mediated by both mu- and delta-opioid receptors in NAc.

Abstract Objectives Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder with alterations of cortico‐striato‐thalamo‐cortical loops and impaired performance monitoring. Electrophysiological markers such as conflict‐related medial frontal theta (MFT) and error‐related negativity (ERN) may be altered by clinically effective deep brain ...
