A2A-positive neurons in the nucleus accumbens core regulate effort exertion

Charles T. Shoemaker, Alexander D. Friedman, Bryan Lu, Qiaochu Jiang, Jiwon Kim, Shuangyan Li, Shaolin Ruan, Henry H. Yin

This study shows that A2A-positive neurons in the NAc core regulate effort exertion by bidirectional modulation of lever pressing behavior in an effort-dependent manner.
