DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.07.069
Abstract: Animals use exteroceptive stimuli that have acquired, through learning, the ability to predict available resources allowing them to engage in adaptive behaviors. Meanwhile, peripheral signals related to internal state (e.g., hunger) provide information about current… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropharm.2018.05.028
Abstract: ABSTRACT The flexible implementation of active and passive strategies to avoid danger is critical to survival. Conversely, the inappropriate allocation of these behaviors may underlie pathological avoidance in neuropsychiatric illnesses. The present study investigated whether… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-00781-4
Abstract: Sleep control is ascribed to a two-process model, a widely accepted concept that posits homoeostatic drive and a circadian process as the major sleep-regulating factors. Cognitive and emotional factors also influence sleep–wake behaviour; however, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jne.13122
Abstract: The nucleus accumbens core is a key nexus within the mammalian brain for integrating the premotor and limbic systems and regulating important cognitive functions such as motivated behaviors. Nucleus accumbens core functions show sex differences… read more here.

DOI: 10.14814/phy2.13784
Abstract: The striatum consists of the dorsal (caudate/putamen) and the ventral (nucleus accumbens) regions. The nucleus accumbens is further divided into a core and shell. Both the dorsal and ventral striatum contain populations of spiny projection… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms22168421
Abstract: The nucleus accumbens core (NAcc) is an important component of brain reward circuitry, but studies have revealed its involvement in pain circuitry also. However, its effect on trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and the mechanism underlying it… read more here.
