The nucleus accumbens dorsomedial column: distinct anterior-posterior inputs and activation inversely associated with opioid relapse

Kenichiro Negishi, Vanessa I. Navarro, Mona S. Pishgar, Federica Ricciardi, Laura P. Montes, Lidice Soto Arzate, Josdell Maria Guerra Ruiz, Diana Sotelo, Alejandro R. Toccoli, Hui-Ling Wang, Yavin Shaham, Arshad M. Khan

This study maps the anatomical connections and activation patterns of the dorsomedial nucleus accumbens (dmACB) and finds reduced dmACB activation correlates with increased opioid seeking after abstinence.
