@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaFEC -> BrainRegionFEC_FT_ACC_CORE
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 (FEC.FT.BG) -> Striatum (FEC.FT.ST) -> Ventral Striatum (FEC.FT.VST) -> Accumbens Nucleus (FEC.FT.ACC) -> Nucleus Accumbens Core (FEC.FT.ACC.CORE) (see Mind Maps)
- Type: nucleus
- Quality: L0
- Brain area: Forebrain - Execution Control Area (FEC)
- Area circuit: Motor Motivational Salience (FECLM)
- Role: basal.ganglia.striatum
- Function: cognitive processing of motor function related to reward and reinforcement; encodes new motor programs which facilitate acquisition of given reward in future
