In this review, we highlight evidence that supports a role for the paraventricular nucleus of
the thalamus (PVT) in motivated behavior. We include a neuroanatomical and …

Brain circuits that include the cortex and basal ganglia make up the bulk of the forebrain,
and influence behaviors related to almost all aspects of affective, cognitive and sensorimotor …

The paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) is a midline thalamic nucleus with dense
projections to the nucleus accumbens (NAc), dorsolateral region of the bed nucleus of the …

Contemporary models of behavioral regulation maintain that balanced activity between
cognitive control areas (prefrontal cortex, PFC) and subcortical reward-related regions …

The subdifferentiation of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) has been extensively studied using
neuroanatomy and histochemistry, yielding a well‐accepted dichotomic shell/core …

Object Chronic pain and negative emotions are often linked, and both can impact the reward
circuit. The use of electroacupuncture (EA) has been found to regulate and improve these …

Stress is prevalent in the lives of those with substance use disorders (SUDs) and influences
SUD outcomes. Understanding the neurobiological mechanisms through which stress …

Sex differences exist in how the brain regulates motivated behavior and reward, both in
normal and pathological contexts. Investigations into the underlying neural mechanisms …

Cocaine addiction is a chronic and relapsing disorder with an important genetic component.
Human candidate gene association studies showed that the single nucleotide polymorphism …
