This page covers biological details of component Nucleus Accumbens Core. 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 Core (FEC.FT.ACC.CORE) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: nucleus
• Brain area: Forebrain - Execution Control Area
• Role: relay
• Function: cognitive processing of motor function related to reward and reinforcement; encodes new motor programs which facilitate acquisition of given reward in future
