| dc.description.abstract | Rewards are powerful stimuli that drive and reinforce goal-directed behaviors. There are a variety of factors that contribute to this process—such as motivation, anticipation, and contextual information—that are encoded in different brain regions. As a result, normal reward-related behaviors require proper functional integration of signals from multiple brain regions, but the essential pathways and underlying mechanisms of integration remain elusive. We have found that a critical mediator of this behavior is the connection between the hippocampus and nucleus accumbens (NAc) | en_US |
