The nucleus accumbens and its related circuitry have been shown to play an important role
in promoting the intake of hedonically desirable food. A previous report has demonstrated …

γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-containing fibers from the nucleus accumbens shell (AcbSh)
terminate in the medial ventral pallidum (VPm) and neurons in the VPm project to the lateral …

When subjects receive a taste stimulus (conditioned stimulus, CS) that is paired with
malaise, they acquire conditioned taste aversion (CTA). It is thought that the taste CS …

Injections of the GABA A antagonist bicuculline into the medial ventral pallidum (VPm)
induce marked increases in food intake, but nothing is known about the way in which these …

Organisms often make effort-related choices based upon assessments of motivational value
and work requirements. Nucleus accumbens dopamine is a critical component of the brain …

This study investigated the areas of the nucleus accumbens shell involved in the modulation
of feeding behavior by GABAergic stimulation and characterized this response using …

Food intake is significantly increased following administration of μ-selective opioid agonists
into the ventral tegmental area (VTA) region acting through multiple local opioid receptor …

Intense feeding can be elicited by injections of the GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculline
into the medial ventral pallidum (VP m), a basal forebrain structure anatomically interposed …

We previously found that the blockade of γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) A receptors in the
ventral pallidum (VP) alters the taste palatability of a conditioned stimulus (CS) from aversive …

We have demonstrated previously that injections of 6, 7-dinitroquinoxaline-2, 3-dione into
the nucleus accumbens shell (AcbSh) elicits pronounced feeding in satiated rats. This …
