This page covers biological details of component Nucleus Accumbens Shell.
Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

* *Top-down path to region*: Forebrain Telencephalon -> Basal Ganglia (BGA.FT.BG) -> Striatum (BGA.FT.ST) -> Ventral Striatum (BGA.FT.VST) -> Accumbens Nucleus (FEC.FT.ACC) -> Nucleus Accumbens Shell (FEC.FT.ACC.SH) (see [[OverallMindMaps|Mind Maps]])
* *Type*: nucleus
* *Brain area*: [[BrainAreaFEC|Forebrain - Execution Control Area]]
* *Role*: relay
* *Function*: cognitive processing of motivational salience (wanting) as well as reward and reinforcement effects
