Abstract

This article highlights recent discoveries related to the accumbens and closely associated structures, with special reference to their importance in neuropsychiatry. The development of "striatal patches" in the accumbens is reviewed in a series of pictures. Neuronal ensembles are discussed as potentially important functional-anatomical units. Attention is also drawn to recent discoveries related to the neuronal circuits that the primate accumbens establishes with the mesencephalic dopamine system. On the basis of histological and neurochemical differences, the accumbens has been divided into core and shell compartments. In the context of this article, the shell, which is an especially diversified part of the accumbens, is the subject of special attention because of its close relation to the extended amygdala and distinctive response to antipsychotic and psychoactive drugs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
