Nucleus Accumbens Core

@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaFEC -> BrainRegionFEC_FT_ACC_CORE

This page covers biological details of component Nucleus Accumbens Core. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Forebrain Telencephalon -> Basal Ganglia (FEC.FT.BG) -> Striatum (FEC.FT.ST) -> Ventral Striatum (FEC.FT.VST) -> Accumbens Nucleus (FEC.FT.ACC) -> Nucleus Accumbens Core (FEC.FT.ACC.CORE) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Forebrain - Execution Control Area
• Role: basal.ganglia.striatum
• Function: cognitive processing of motor function related to reward and reinforcement; encodes new motor programs which facilitate acquisition of given reward in future
