Nucleus Accumbens

Prefrontal/accumbal catecholamine system processes emotionally driven attribution of motivational salience
Predictable stress promotes place preference and low mesoaccumbens dopamine response.
Norepinephrine in the prefrontal cortex is critical for amphetamine-induced reward and mesoaccumbens dopamine release
Dopamine in the medial prefrontal cortex controls genotype-dependent effects of amphetamine on mesoaccumbens dopamine release and locomotion
In vivo evidence that genetic background controls impulse-dependent dopamine release induced by amphetamine in the nucleus accumbens
Prefrontal cortical norepinephrine release is critical for morphine-induced reward, reinstatement and dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens
Environment makes amphetamine-induced dopamine release in the nucleus Accumbens totally impulse-dependent
Prefrontal/accumbal catecholamine system determines motivational salience attribution to both reward- and aversion-related stimuli
The medial prefrontal cortex determines the accumbens dopamine response to stress through the opposing influences of norepinephrine and dopamine
Prefrontal/accumbal catecholamine system processes high motivational salience
