Infusions of vehicle and muscimol were also performed in ventral striatum. (A) Infusion sites were located in the nucleus accumbens core. (B) Opposing findings from mPFC, inactivations in ventral striatum led to an increase in lick count for the high value (20%) sucrose solution. The number of licks for the low value (4%) sucrose solution also increased during muscimol inactivation of ventral striatum. (C) There was no change in bout duration for the high or low value sucrose solution with muscimol inactivations of ventral striatum.
