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.

Involvement of the accumbal osteopontin-interacting transmembrane protein 168 in methamphetamine-induced place preference and hyperlocomotion in mice [PDF]
Chronic exposure to methamphetamine causes adaptive changes in brain, which underlie dependence symptoms. We have found that the transmembrane protein 168 (TMEM168) is overexpressed in the nucleus accumbens of mice upon repeated methamphetamine ...

Behavioral flexibility is increased by optogenetic inhibition of neurons in the nucleus accumbens shell during specific time segments [PDF]
Behavioral flexibility is vital for survival in an environment of changing contingencies. The nucleus accumbens may play an important role in behavioral flexibility, representing learned stimulus–reward associations in neural activity during response ...

Effects of cocaethylene on dopamine and serotonin synthesis in Long–Evans and Sprague–Dawley brains [PDF]
We examined the behavioral and neurochemical effects of cocaethylene treatment in Long–Evans ( LE). and Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats. Cocaethylene-induced behaviors were significantly less in LE rats.

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.

Functional bias of morphine and oliceridine under conditions of minor injury
Recent reports suggest pain from surgical injury may influence the risks associated with exposure to opioids. In mice, hind-paw incision attenuates morphine-primed reinstatement due to kappa opioid receptor activation by dynorphin.
