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 Mind Maps)
- Type: nucleus
- Brain area: Forebrain - Execution Control Area
- Role: relay
- Function: cognitive processing of motivational salience (wanting) as well as reward and reinforcement effects
