Correspondence between human and non-human animal assessments of reward processes and associated neurobiological mechanisms

Reward Processes	Human Assessments	Non-human Animal Assessments	Correspondence	Neurobiological Mechanisms
Consummatory Pleasure	Self-report (e.g., SHAPS, CPAS)		Poor To Mid	Nucleus accumbens Ventral pallidum Orbitofrontal cortex Opioids Endocannabinoids
	Sucrose preference	Sucrose consumption and preference
Anticipatory Pleasure	Self-report (e.g., TEPS, ACIPS)		Poor	Anterior cingulate cortex Orbitofrontal cortex Medial prefrontal cortex Basal ganglia Dopamine
		Arousal, anticipatory locomotion, approach behaviors
		Ultrasonic vocalizations
		Successive contrast effects
Reward Valuation	Outcome devaluation task	Outcome devaluation task	High	Medial prefrontal cortex Dorsal striatum Nucleus accumbens Basolateral amygdala Orbitofrontal cortex Dopamine, Glutamate
