Evidence for drug-selective and shared circuitry in NAc and NAc-connected region

Evidence for necessity of reviewed regions for drug and natural reward behaviors. Dark green = drug-selective (100% studies showed drug selectivity), Yellow/Green gradient = mixed (>50% studies showed drug selectivity), yellow = shared (≤50% studies showed drug selectivity). Abbreviations: BLA = basolateral amygdala, BNST = bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, CeA = central nucleus of the amygdala, HIPP = hippocampus, IL = infralimbic cortex, IC = insular cortex, LH = lateral hypothalamus, NAcore = nucleus accumbens core, NAshell = nucleus accumbens shell, PL = prelimbic cortex, STN = subthalamic nucleus, VP = ventral pallidum, VTA = ventral tegmental area.
