@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaFEC -> BrainRegionFEC_FT_ACC_SH

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

*Top-down path to region*: Forebrain Telencephalon -> Basal Ganglia (BGA.FT.BG) -> Striatum (BGA.FT.ST) -> Ventral Striatum (BGA.FT.VST) -> Accumbens Nucleus (FEC.FT.ACC) -> Nucleus Accumbens Shell (FEC.FT.ACC.SH) (see Mind Maps)
*Type*: nucleus
*Brain area*: Forebrain - Execution Control Area
*Role*: relay
*Function*: cognitive processing of motivational salience (wanting) as well as reward and reinforcement effects
