Nucleus Accumbens Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone Neurons Projecting to the Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis Promote Wakefulness and Positive Affective State
Nucleus Accumbens Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone Neurons Project to Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis to Regulate Wakefulness and Positive Emotional States Background The nucleus accumbens (NAc) plays a crucial role in regulating motivation, reward, and many behaviors that depend on high levels of arousal. However, research on the neural mechani...
