Dopaminergic modulation of limbic and cortical drive of nucleus accumbens in goal-directed behavior (2005, background): “Therefore, DA is critical in the NAcc in modulating goal-directed behavio”
The rewards of music listening: Response and physiological connectivity of the mesolimbic system (2005, background): “Furthermore, the hedonic aspect of reward is thought to be modulated by endogenous opioid peptide transmission within the NAc, which in turn, is known to be regulated by dopaminergic input from the VTA (Kelley and Berridge, 2002).”
Neural systems of reinforcement for drug addiction: from actions to habits to compulsion (2005, background): “One possibility is the nucleus accumbens shell, which is connected to the full network of descending neural influences over reflexive autonomic and motor response”
Is there a common molecular pathway for addiction? (2005, background): “Growing evidence indicates that the VTA-NAc pathway and the other limbic regions cited above similarly mediate, at least in part, the acute positive emotional effects of natural rewards, such as food, sex and social interaction”
Reflecting upon Feelings: An fMRI Study of Neural Systems Supporting the Attribution of Emotion to Self and Other (2004, background): “…greater MPFC activation when judging how well positive or negative trait words described themselves as compared to another famous individual (Kelley et al., 2002; Craik et al., 1999), but it is not clear how much dispositional trait judgments are related to judgments of one's current emotional…”
Computational models of reinforcement learning: the role of dopamine as a reward signal (2010, background): “Dopamine has been shown to play a role in motivation (Fibiger and Phillips 1986; Robbins and Everitt 1996; Wise and Hoffman 1992; Wise 2004, 2005), in the acquisition of appetitive conditioning tasks (Berridge and Robinson 1998; Everitt et al. 1999; Ikemoto and Panksepp 1999), in many aspects of dru”
The neural correlates of maternal and romantic love (2004, background): “…to the core regions [SN, nucleus accumbens, sublenticular extended amygdala (SLEA)] such as the striatum (classically associated to motor functions) and other regions receiving projections from the core regions (see below) play a direct role in human reward (Kelley and Berridge, 2002; White, 1989).”
Addiction: a disease of learning and memory. (2005, background): “However, because both addictive drugs and natural rewards release dopamine in the nucleus accumbens and other forebrain structures, addictive drugs mimic the effects of natural rewards and can thus shape behavior (9, 22, 23).”
The amygdala and reward (2002, background): “By contrast, there is evidence that aversive and appetitive processing might be handled by different information-processing stream”
The neurobiology of pair bonding (2004, neutral): “Studies also implicate this circuit in conditioned reward learning, such as drug-induced place preference”
Motivation concepts in behavioral neuroscience. (2004, background): “Berridge / Physiology & Behavior 81 ( 2004 ) 179 – 209 204 Hence , perhaps , we need new brain organization con - cepts in addition to hierarchy , especially for forebrain circuits .”
