Differential control over cocaine-seeking behavior by nucleus accumbens core and shell.
Nucleus accumbens (NAc) dopamine is widely implicated in mediating the reinforcing effects of drugs of abuse. However, the precise function of the NAc itself in drug self-administration has been difficult to establish. Here we show a neural double-dissociation of the behavioral processes that underl...
